2015 Eve's Garden Chardonnay. This is the first offering of Eve's Garden since 2008. Quince and stone fruit from the East Block is balanced by the minerality and citrus character of the North Block. Some second and third filled barrels lend complexity and restraint. Several years in the cellar will optimize this pretty chardonnay.

The 2012 vintage is the first Inchinnan dominated by the Dijon 114 clone. Depth of color, spice and earth are supported by the usual addition of Wadenswil and Dijon 115. Two barrels from our new Dijon 777 vines are a first time addition. Cadus and Remond barrels bring some cinnamon and graphite to the finish.

The Mistake Block in 2012 was unusually dark, due to the vintage. The flavors reflect blackberry notes, and hints of cocoa with a particularly fine silkiness on the mid-palate. Still drinking nicely.

The 2014 Eve's Garden showcases the vineyard blocks that accentuate red fruit character: Dijon 113, 115 and 667. One barrel of Pommard softens the cuvee, adding a bit of earth to the vibrant berry nature of this vintage. Please cellar this wine to allow full development of its many facets.
