Time Left: CLOSED
Description
You are bidding on one bottle of: ERNEST VINEYARDS The Jester Chardonnay Fallenleaf Vineyard Sonoma Coast 2018: The beautiful Fallenleaf Vineyard is located on the top of the eastern slope of the Sonoma ridge in the exclusive Petaluma Gap, a special and unique micro-climate which benefits from constant cool marine air from the Pacific Ocean and ever-present morning fog, which slows the ripening down and is ideal for Chardonnay. The vineyard is planted to the rare Old Wente clone considered by many, including Robert Parker, to be the finest in California. It's a bright golden color, with wonderful sweet aromas of fresh fruit and floral honeysuckle. On the palate it's smooth as can be, medium-bodied yet rich and complex, with lots of creamy fresh peach and yellow apple, pear and lemon, caramel and vanilla, with nice touches of sweet spice, toasty oak and a Burgundian-inspired crisp minerality on the food-friendly finish. Winemaker Joseph Ryan made a big name for himself at premiere wineries including Flowers, Porter Creek and Gary Farrell's Alysian. 90 points from both Robert Parker and Vinous.
