PLACT 2018 Chardonnay
Rick Mirer '93
Parr Vineyard is located in the North Coast Appellation of Knights Valley. The location, with its ideal soils and climate, makes for a perfect area to grow Chardonnay.
Nestled in the remote Sonoma mountains and influenced by Mt. St. Helena, the days are warm and the nights are cool. The Vineyard is a very cool and foggy site that ripens the grapes slowly with racy acidity. The soil is comprised of sandy loam - perfect for Chardonnay.
Color: bright, shiny yellow gold with touches of mercury on the rim
On the nose: explosion of toasted brioche, pear, banana, apricot and quince paste with creme brulee, citrus blossom, and orange peel
On the palate: round entrance evolving on a fresh mid-palate with touches of caramel and lemon yogurt, lingering on a beautiful acidity"
