From a single vineyard planted in 1988, the 2010 Tarraford Vineyard Chardonnay received no malo-lactic, was fermented with wild yeast in barrel and matured 11 months in new (25%) and older French oak puncheons. It offers slighted muted aromas of lemon pie, key lime and grapefruit peel with supporting notes of meal and bread-yeast plus a pleasant sulphide / struck match character. Light to medium bodied with a good backbone of acid, it gives very good citrus flavor concentration and a long yeasty finish. Youthfully delicious now, it should evolve gracefully and drink to 2016+.
