Half the fruit is sourced from the Carabella vineyard, half from the Hyland vineyard. This is a young, tense, tight wine, still melding itself together. Melon, green pineapple, green banana and Streaks of butter and toast suggest that all the right flavor components are in place. The wine remains steely and compressed; definitely a white wine that should be decanted.

The Ana vineyard dates back to 1976, though this wine includes fruit from newer Dijon clone plantings. Aromatic and herbal, it’s annotated with briar, sassafras and rosemary. The middle thins out a bit, but the flavors continue into an extended, subtle finish.

Formerly the Goldschmidt vineyard, Winderlea is under new ownership, and has been replanted. This is a light vintage, but beautifully rendered here, with sweet cherry fruit, bracing acidity and a lively mouthfeel that invites further sipping. The underlying minerality carries a hint of toasted cracker.
