New Chardonnay release from the private label of Ehren Jordan, Turley's longtime winemaker.  Limited. The final blend of Failla's Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is composed of fruit from Keefer Ranch and the Floodgate Vineyard. The young vine block from the cooler Keefer Ranch site gives the wine blend verve and freshness while the Floodgate Vineyard adds depth and richness. Both vineyards are planted from the Dijon Clone 95 the "Old Wente" selection, which makes some of California's best Chardonnays.  It posseses a layered texture accenting the wines natural fruit, minerality and floral character.  A small-production gem to snap up while its available.

[Hudson Ranch, Napa, Chardonnay, 2018] Minerality, sea shell, orchard fruit, tropical fruits, textural breath. Less creamy than Fort Ross-Seaview Chardonnay (where it's dry farmed). Steam toasted foudre and puncheons. Complete MLF. <10% new French oak, 10-40% concrete eggs. Carneros, more sunshine, longer growing days. 777 115 667 Pommard Martini and Calera clones. Picks early on acid. Land + farming contracts: more control. native yeasts, organic and biodynamic minimalist winemaking. 98 first vintage, 12 acres in Russian River AVA.

2018. From the cruvinet. Stopped in for a quick glass before heading over to The Oven for dinner. I really like Failla wines and this Chardonnay is really well balanced.

Mouthwatering acidity, refreshing ripe fruit and a buttercream texture. Gulpable.
