The wine is aged eleven months on the lees with monthly stirrings, with bottling in August of 2007. Clonal selections are approximately equal proportions of Dijon clones 76, 95, and 96. <br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Vintage Notes:</span><br>The 2006 vintage started late and ran about a month later than normal, due to a cold, wet spring that delayed the fruit set. The summer weather was typical for the region. The Chardonnay harvest commenced on October 6, and did not finish until November 10, with average crop loads showing intensely flavored fruit that retained much of its natural acidity. <br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Vineyard Information:</span><br>Rosella's Vineyard, farmed by Gary Franscioni and his wife Rosella, has provided both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to the winery for a number of years.
