Winemakers
Chris Brockway of Broc Cellars and Brian Terrizzi of Giornata sourced grapes
from one the finest vineyards on the Central Coast, James Berry Vineyard. This
vineyard is home to Saxum's estate plantings and recently received a 100 point
review from Robert Parker. The James Berry Vineyard fruit is hard to get and is
desirable because it is loaded with calcareous soil, a soil dominated by
ancient seashell composition and limestone.
Personally,
I really like this chardonnay. It combines the New and Old World flavor
profiles. It is fruit forward, showing some tropical fruits, but has little oak
with nicely shown minerality. It has good acidity which will pair well with
food.
