ワインメーカーノート
2012 Rivers-Marie B. Thieriot Vineyard Chardonnay Sonoma Coast -350 cases, 13.8% alcohol, 35% new oak
Vintages like this confirm why we love this vineyard and reaffirm our decision to make it the flagship of our Chardonnay program. 2012 was the first year we were able to call the pick when we thought the vineyard was truly ready instead of having our hand forced by inclement weather. Because of this we brought in the cleanest, healthiest looking fruit we had ever seen from this site. The normal bracing acid is here but there's a completeness to this wine at a much earlier stage than we've ever experienced before.
Being a huge white Burgundy fan, I've always marveled at how those wines balance delineation with a pleasing roundness that makes the wines so complex and versatile. This is the first year we feel we have achieved something close to that. We press direct to barrel, both primary and malolactic fermentations are 100% native, the barrels aren't stirred and the wine sees no sulfur until after it completes secondary fermentation. The winemaking hasn't changed, so we are happy to give the credit to the vineyard and vintage.
