Chardonnay
Skycrest Vineyard
Anderson Valley
This elusive vineyard is pitched along a series of ridge lines at 2500' in bucolic Anderson Valley. Its tough mountainous soils range from grey shale to decomposed sandstone with veins of quartz crystal. The clonal material differs by block—this wine is a blend of Clones 72 + 4. This eastern edge of the valley is subject to extreme temperature swings, late flowering, and naturally low yields.
