gary farrell is one of the few wineries to obtain fruit from this coveted vineyard. as always, the wine is intensely concentrated in tropical fruits, green apples and pears, with such weight that it can easily handle lavish new french oak. the alcohol is refreshingly low and the acidity is brisk and mouthwatering. this gorgeous evocation of russian river chardonnay is flashy and delicious now, but the window of opportunity seems to be between 2014–2017 before the fruit starts to fade away.
