Item Description
1. Buty, Columbia Valley 2010, Connor Lee Vineyards, Chardonnay
The June 21st flowering was late and afforded us a ripe harvest on Sept 29th at dawn. We finished harvest 3 days later with the clone #95 chardonnay. The block ‘89 was classically ripe 23.2 and clone #95 was 21.5 brix, with pHs of 3.2 and organic acids of 10g/L. We hand sorted clusters and then both whole cluster pressed some and crushed the other blocks of chardonnay by a unique method I designed to allow for greater extraction and texture in the wine. The raw juice fermented in mature Burgundy barrels and was lees stirred with partial malolactic. We do not alter the juice with finings or additions of acid or water. Instead, we grow our fruit to balance the natural juice acids so that our wine needs no additions. This rich and vibrant, acidic and silky style is the hallmark of our chardonnay.
We bottled on July 20, 2011. Buty white wines are naturally heat and cold stable between 45F to 90F. Crystalline sediments may develop if stored cooler. We believe this wine is ideally served at 50F, where after it can warm up during the meal.
The nose is attractive and ripe, made of clean stone fruit flavors and vibrant citrus notes. The silky texture and the long, crisp, fruit-filled finish complete our wine, un-obscured by oak. It is young at release and will open. Six hundred cases were produced.
2. SEV, Sinclair Estate Vineyards, Columbia Valley 2011, Chardonnay:
Our Chardonnay is hand crafted using old world techniques. Sur lie aging gives this wine a soft and creamy texture and exudes rich and tropical aromas of ripe banana, pineapple and hints of coconut.
3. Colle Creta, Villa Bizzarri 2005, Italy:
This producer makes a number of other wines including those from the grapes Cabernet - Montepulciano and Pecorino. Available at only a few outlets in Europe, this wine is difficult to find.
This is more affordable than many Abruzzo wines. The price has been stable over the past year.
Item Special Note
Wine can be delivered in the greater Seattle/Bellevue area.
