The ten acre, valley floor, Genevieve Vineyard block sits a quarter mile east of the Langtry House on fairly shallow, gravelly clay loam soils with high magnesium and low nutrient content that limits vine vigor and crop levels. Very cool nights extend hang time, producing excellent acidity and rich, fully mature fruit.
The 2006 Genevieve Chardonnay has complex layers of tropical fruit, sweet oak and hints of butterscotch. The rich flavors and supple texture precede a finish that goes on for miles.

"Dry and fashionable, this has a dusty, minerally character and high acidity that’s reminiscent of a good Chablis. The cool, long vintage resulted in subtle peach, pear, pineapple and spice flavors. — S.H. (2/1/2008)" -Rated 90, Wine Enthusiast
