2007 Rhys Vineyards Alpine Road Vineyard Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay
13.7% alc.. Left on the
lees until bottling. Unfined and unfiltered.

Chalky minerality runs through this superb wine. Accents of smoky
oak, pear and citrus add interest. There is a lingering taste of lemon meringue pie on the finish which offers a
refreshing grip of acid.
