This is not the Wind Gap Woodruff Vineyard Chardonnay that I have reported on so many times over the past 18 months but rather its sibling from the Wind Gap Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast at an elevation of 300 to 800 feet. It is, in my opinion, better than Woodruff Vineyard (Santa Cruz Mountains) wine from the same year.
Mature, deep color but bright and clear. Cool climate acidity and energy. Lemon peel, apples and honey. Compared to the WVV Dijon Clone Chardonnary from Oregon beside it at the table, it is equally energetic but less creamy in texture. More like Chablis than Beaune Burgundy.
