This exceptional wine is a true triumph, made exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from John and Faye Guman's Coombsville AVA vineyard in Napa. The vineyard, originally planted by Nathan Fay, displays incredible genetic diversity due to its unique selection-massale planting method, incorporating cuttings from various old-vine vineyards across Northern California. This results in varying cluster and berry sizes, as well as a week-long ripening period. The grapes are notably small and thick-skinned, with a delightful Muscat-like aroma, showcasing the rich heritage of the Wente clone.
