Winewakers Notes:
The Chardonnay that comes from the San Francisco Bay possesses a unique focus of character. While being in a warmer, Mediterranean climate, the two vineyards which make up this Chardonnay are all located along the southern and western edgeson the eastern edge of San Francisco Bay. The sloping, rolling hills of the Kalthoff common location provide small microclimates that are ideal for drainage and retaining the cool air that prolongs the growing season. The Lamorinda appelation just north of Livermore Valley has a strong delta influence keeping the vineyard a very cool region 3.
I was a non-believer of Livermore Valley Chardonnay when I arrived here in 2004. Today, I will put these wines against any Chard on the shelf at the price point. The appellation is under-valued. It is one of the more exciting wines that I work with.

Tasting Notes:
The barrel fermentation of 20% of this Chardonnay adds complexity while the 80% that is fermented in stainless steel under temperature control provides freshness and structure.
It has opening notes of butter, lemon, fruit and honey suckle with a bit of almond and vanilla on the nose.
It has a lovely, golden yellow, straw color.
The palate entry is of floral components with ripe fruit in the California style and a soft, pleasing mid palate. The acidity is tempered making this an excellent food wine but one that drinks all by itself just fine! There is honey and buttercup in the finish with lingering bright floral and a subtle kiss of American Oak.
