2006 Peirson Meyer Chardonnay, "Untitled", Sonoma County
This wine represents the art of blending. Miniscule selections of wine from the various vineyards we work with come together to form this complex creation. Exotic notes of tangerine oil, pineapple, and lycee fruit, are complimented with vanilla bean, clove, and underlying notes of wet stone. The aromas continue to unfold and present themselves as long as the wine is in the glass. The palate fulfills the expectations of the aromas. A rich and powerful statement on the palate, its presence remains long after the wine is enjoyed.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate - Here is another impressive portfolio of wines from winemakers/proprietors Robbie Meyer and Alan Pierson, who have crafted some of the finest Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs made in the difficult 2006 vintage. Made from a selection from the best barrels, the 2006 Chardonnay Peirson Meyer is a more restrained, almost structured style of Chardonnay. The wine reveals a liquid minerality character intermixed with notes of tropical fruit, honeyed orange, and lemon. It will probably open over the next year, and last for 5-7 years. – 94 points
