Bonterra Vineyards Chardonnay 2001

Mendocino County, California, United StatesThis historic 378-acre Bonterra vineyard, located in the Russian River benchlands of Mendocino County, is certified organic. Farming practices include composting, cover crops, and natural cycles to create a soil that is rich and vital. Soil, plants and animals together create a web of natural balance where all the elements thrive. Look for bright citrus lemon oil and apple skin. Very soft and buttery in the mouth with plenty of green apple skin and lime rind flavours. Buttery lees flavours mark a long soft delicate finish.Tasted: 25 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
