2005 Scherrer Winery Helfer Vineyard Chardonnay

2003 Scherrer Winery Helfer Vineyard Chardonnay
45 cases, $35. The Helfer Vineyard is located in the
Vine Hill area of the Russian River Valley. Originally a Pinot Noir vineyard, it has been grafted over to a
selection of Chardonnay budwood that came from Kistler, the vineyard’s neighbor just across Vine Hill Road.
The vineyard has densely planted vines that require hand cultivation and yield more concentrated fruit than by
traditional California vine spacing. The wines from this vineyard need several years to reach their potential.
Unfined an unfiltered.
·
This wine has really come together and is drinking beautifully. Tasty citrus, a little butter,
a hint of oak, and a smooth and silky texture.
