2018 DuPratt

Situated 1500 feet above the Anderson Valley floor on the Mendocino Ridge, the remote DuPratt Vineyard produces a Chardonnay that perfectly harmonizes what we love in Old World and New World Chardonnay.  Aromatically the wine is displaying notes of freshly baked Golden Delicious apples along with a subtle nuttiness.  This is matched with a distinct mineral and matchstick note that we seem to find each year from this stellar wine.  The wine is fresh on the pallet, producing a mouthwatering acidity that carries flavors of Meyer lemon and saline, making this a perfect pairing with seafood, particularly seared scallops.
