Our grapes from this iconic vineyard spent 15 months sur lies in 40% new French oak, and the wine shows beautiful delineation and purity. It has a fragrant nose (typical of Wente Clone) and lovely fruit flavors of green apple and almost ripe pear. This is a wine that really opens up with time in glass and my expectation is that this wine will age gracefully for years to come.

Vineyard Notes
Just south of our new winery on West Dry Creek Road the Bacigalupi family owns approximately 120 acres of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir Vineyards on Westside Road. We sourced fruit for the 2015 Flanagan Chardonnay Bacigalupi Vineyard from one of their top blocks. Bacigalupi was the source of the Chateau Montelena Chardonnay that, famously, beat the French wines at the “Judgement of Paris” tasting in 1976.
