2007 Peirson Meyer Chardonnay, "Untitled #3", Sonoma County

This wine is a demonstration in the art of blending. Choosing from the barrels that ultimately make up the Charles Heintz, Laughlin Family, and Russian River Valley Chardonnays, Robbie and Alan carefully selected individual barrels that would offer unique expression not necessarily shown in the individual blends that clearly represent the given vineyards.

The third in our series, the 2007 Untitled #3 offers aromas of dried apricot, exotic tropical notes of lycee fruit, with highlights of nutmeg and spice. The mouthfeel is rich, viscous and expansive, remaining on the palate long after the wine is enjoyed.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate - The powerful, full-throttle 2007 Chardonnay Untitled #3 exhibits a light gold color as well as a big, sweet kiss of baked apples, honeyed pears, nectarines, and orange marmalade. Displaying fabulous fruit on the attack, mid-palate, and finish, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and a subtle hint of toasty oak, it should be consumed over the next 3-4 years. - 95 points.

Wine Spectator, June 2009 - Offers tremendous richness and concentration, focus and complexity. This is built around bold, full-bodied apple, melon, graham cracker, floral and honeysuckle flavors that are pure, focused and persistent. – 94 points.
