title: Sleeping Giant 2013 Las Amigas Partners Vineyard Chardonnay (Carneros)
description: This is a lovely white made by Chris Dearden. Whole-cluster pressed and fermented in once-used French oak, the grapes are sourced from a 12-acre parcel planted to Old Wente clone Chardonnay. Dark golden in hue, it has graceful acidity and a burst of lemon blossom on the nose that evolves into a sublime lightness and crispness on the palate.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Las Amigas Partners Vineyard
