91 Pts Wine Enthusiast |
"There's a hard minerality in this Chardonnay, like a lick of cold steel. That, plus the acidity, balances the fine, complex tropical fruits and green apples, as well as the butterscotch spice from oak barrels. The result is a complex wine that's dry and fairly full-bodied. Drink now - 2016." Reviewed 7/1/2013 |
90 Pts Anthony Dias Blue - Tasting Panel |
"Bright, clean and juicy with lively acidity and creamy texture; long, balanced and fresh." Reviewed 11/2013 |
Description:
"Named after the late patriarch of the Torres family, this organic vineyard is located in the Green Valley - the coolest, foggiest region of the Russian River, only ten miles from the Pacific. Planted in the European-style high density of over 2,000 vines/acre, the yields are low and labor intensive; but the vines live longer and the grapes acquire better balance and greater concentration, as well as more elegance and finesse."
Vinification Methods: The grapes were gently whole-cluster pressed and barrel fermented in premium French oak. The barrels were 20% new oak from the forest of Allier, coopered by Rousseau, Damy, and Dargaud & Jaegle. After undergoing 100% malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged on its lees for ten months. Production: 3,446 cases
