Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points 

"This bottling, which uses ginger as a preservative instead of sulfur, came about as an accident. The nose shows baked peach, lemon syrup and floral aromas, hinting at that ginger. The palate rides deeper into that spicy floral flavor, with stone fruit and intriguingly savory hints of parmesan rind.  Editors' Choice" 

Winemaker Notes: 

"A fresh, subtle note of ginger on the nose.  This single-vineyard Chardonnay is lean with peach, sweet lemon balm and mineral notes up front, followed by a finish of creamy custard.  There is subtle spice throughout, expressing the ancient benefits of ginger root. Sturdy enough to stand up to a Thai dinner, but interesting enough to ponder on it's own."  

Alcohol: 12%
