| TASTING NOTE: Mitsuko's Vineyard is a sprawling 365 acres in the Los Carneros appellation within Napa Valley, due north of San Pablo Bay. The growing conditions in this calcareous, rolling soils moondance section at 300m is windy as hell and makes for some pretty intense chardonnay from low yields. If nothing else it is texture noted on the midpalate with thanks to extended lees contact and repeated bâttonage. That and wood-induced spice complexity. Mitsuko's finish is unrelenting due to and in addendum from acidity driven dénouement. It really is cool climate chardonnay ... Drink 2017-2023. Score - 92 (Michael Godel, winealign.com, March 4, 2017) |
