2021 MARCHELLE CHARDONNAY TRITONE CUVEE CALIFORNIA

FROM THE WINERY

2021 Tritone Cuvée Chardonnay
The “Tritone” is about creating flavorful harmonies that bring together distinct fruit from three counties and
integrating them into a unique and magnificent whole. It’s where our winemaking team of Greg La Follette and
Evan Damiano work their magic. Mendocino provides 48% with fruit coming from Manchester Ridge at elevation
on the coast and Haiku, inland in the Sanel Valley. Sonoma provides 33% with fruit hailing from Black Knight and
the venerable Lorenzo Vineyards in Russian River Valley. Last to the blend is Santa Barbara at 19% with fruit from “L”
block, the oldest Chardonnay at Bien Nacido Vineyard planted in 1972

Tasting Notes
Golden-straw hues foretell aromas of vanilla-lemon custard, cantaloupe and honeydew. Fruit notes continue with
sweet lime, pear and quince framed with just a touch of oak spice. The palate follows the nose, with ripe, almost tropical
fruit and an unctuous mouthfeel that carries from start to an extra long finish with great ending viscosity.
