The Attune Reserve Chardonnay comes from the Station Ranch vineyard in Carneros, Sonoma County, California. The wine spends 18 months in a mix of new and neutral French oak barrels and another 12 months in the bottle before release. The winemaker is Kenneth Juhasz of Auteur Wines.
From the winery:
This racy single-vineyard wine captivates with aromas of spring flowers and lemon peel, notes of Gravenstein apple, brioche and chalk emerge from a flash of focused acidity. On the palate it is bright and structured with a backbone of minerality supporting rich fruit and a long, creamy finish.
Night hand-harvested, clusters are then cold-soaked and allowed to ferment slowly over the course of several days. After a gentle pressing, the juice goes into a carefully selected mix of neutral and new French oak barrels. We bottle after 18 months in barrel, then age the wines for an additional year before release.
13.5% Alcohol
The 2015 Attune Station Ranch Chardonnay Reserve begins with an excellent aroma of spiced green apple, lemons, melon and touches of fresh baked bread. Taking a sip reveals a smooth and very tasty wine. It's not the big buttery Chard I was expecting based on the 18 months in barrel but a really lovely, fruitier, elegant and harmonious wine. It ends dry with just a hint of butter, good length and lots of lasting tart fruit. Delicious!
