2022 Bootlegger’s Hill Vineyard Chardonnay

2022 Bootlegger’s Hill Vineyard Chardonnay

From one of the coldest vineyards we work with, this increasingly famous site sits on a high ridge just east of the town of Occidental. Aromas of white blossom and poaceous, green apple fruit leap from the glass. A savory element of Redwood and cedar box lends complexity along with wet sand minerality. The showstopper on this Bootlegger’s Hill is the taught, crisp acidity, which will allow for many years evolution in the bottle. Along with the broad-shouldered structure, this wine’s linear acid focus (mouthwatering) makes for exceptional balance and a long, lingering finish.
