There are usually two cuvées of Chardonnay made by Ray Signorello. The 2014 Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes, which comes from relatively old vines on the estate (largely Old Wente), is fermented with 100% wild yeasts and goes through partial malolactic. It is aged in 41%-51% new French oak. The 2014 reminded me of a crisp, minerally Chevalier-Montrachet from Burgundy. Loads of steely white currant, poached pear and apple butter notes jump from the glass of this medium to full-bodied, elegant and refreshingly well-delineated and rich wine.
