Note di degustazione
(from a Hyde clone; from 25-year-old vines whose tiny clusters yielded less than a ton an acre in 2010, according to Tor Kenward): Good bright yellow. Aromas of orchard fruits, lemon curd, minerals and smoky lees. Offers lovely fruit intensity in a cool style: lemon zest, fresh peach, minerals and menthol. Nothing tropical about this California chardonnay. High-pitched, broad and quite dry, with a palate-dusting, extract-rich finish.

The 2010 Chardonnay Torchiana boasts tons of energy and sheer personality. Lime peel, white flowers, crushed rocks and spices are some of the notes that flow from this pure, vivid Chardonnay. This is pure class and elegance.
The 2010 Chardonnay Torchiana boasts tons of energy and sheer personality. Lime peel, white flowers, crushed rocks and spices are some of the notes that flow from this pure, vivid Chardonnay. This is pure class and elegance. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. This is a dazzling set of wines from Tor Kenward and his long-time winemaker Jeff Ames. Frankly, I could have spent an entire afternoon delving further into these fabulous wines. The 2009 Cabernets capture the best qualities of this refined, polished vintage, but the 2010s, which I tasted from barrel, are potentially even better. Tel. (707) 963-3100
