Heron Lake is one of only three vineyards in Wild Horse Valley it's situated at an elevation of 1400 feet with extremely rocky soils and a climate closer to the Sonoma Coast than Napa. The 2011 Chardonnay is a fantastic, it’s elegant and crisp, with aromas of fresh lemon zest, spicy herbs, tea and stony minerals, which leap from the glass. This shows wonderful tension and structure with a crisp, mouth watering finish marked by even more lemon and minerals. The wine is unfined and unfiltered so the don’t mind the slightly cloudy appearance. Drink this now or over the next 5 years. (Best 2014-2019) - December, 2013 (JD)
