Winemaking:

Hand harvested at night to retain vibrant acidity, the grapes were whole cluster pressed to a temperature controlled stainless steel tank to settle the juice, then racked into French oak barrels the following day. The winemaking techniques were classic Burgundian- spontaneous native yeast barrel fermentation, gentle battonage, and spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The wine aged in barrel on fine lees for 18 months, and was racked once before bottling.

Description:

VINTAGE
The 2020 season will be remembered for factors beyond the normal
measurements. It was a warm, dry winter and we didn’t start to see rain
and cold weather until the end of March. A mild spring season gave us
a great early start, and summer brought very cool mornings and very
warm days. This build-up to harvest was interrupted by two wildfires as
we turned to the fall. The white wine harvest started early August and
the wines have developed excellently, reflecting the fine vintage year.

SENSORY IMPRESSIONS
The 2020 Silhouette is everything we love about great Chardonnay—
bright, fresh, full, complex, long and delicious. Barrel fermented with
native yeasts in the classic Burgundian style, the wine is unctuous
and full while expressing the bright acidity of the cool Carneros
appellation. Lemon curd, hazelnuts, orange blossoms, and jasmine
delight aromatically and on the palate as the wine evolves in the glass.
This is a complex Chardonnay, with layers of flavor dancing on the
taut line of natural acidity. The long, balanced finish both satisfies and
entices—this is a deeply enjoyable wine. An excellent food companion,
the wine is also stunning on its own and will continue to evolve over
the next 10+ years.
