The 2012 Chardonnay Summum Seven Spring Vineyards comes from the shallow soils on the upper part of the vineyard that is usually picked 3-7 days after La Source. However, in this vintage it was picked on the same day, on October 5 and aged for 11 months, 25% new oak. It has a Burgundy-inspired bouquet, very well defined with fine mineralité coming through. The palate is crisp and taut with pure mandarin and subtle tropical notes, a keen thread of acidity with a poised finish that displays fine salinity. 300 cases produced.
