2017 KATHERINE’S VINEYARD CHARDONNAYKatherine’s Vineyard, named for Katie Jackson in 1986, consists of

ancient soils with fossilized seashells, shale, limestone and sand, with

fog-swept vines that have endured since the 1970s. This unique piece

of land thrives in the cool, maritime influences that funnel in from the

Pacific Ocean, allowing for the longest growing season in the state.

TASTING NOTES

“Fresh granny smith apples, floral and spice aromas dominate the nose;

pink grapefruit, tangerine, citrus blossom, and apple pie flavors are

balanced by a bit of wet stone. The oak influence creates a nice

mid-palate, yet the wine still shows a balanced acidity that carries

through the long finish.”

-Jill Russell, Winemaker

VINTAGE NOTES

The 2017 growing season started with rain that was much needed in

the winter to wash away salts in the soil. There was colder weather in

the spring especially during bloom and set, and then nice, warm

weather appeared during the summer months. Harvest start date was

early, starting on August 26th. The grapes displayed intense aromas

and flavors and the resulting wines have a nice balance of elegant

aromas and flavors, acid, and structure.

100% French oak, 15% new
