Winemaking duties are now in the hands of former assistant winemaker Vanessa Wong, who took over last fall after Mark Aubert departed to make the wines of Ann Colgin and launch his own label. Wong describes the 1998 vintage as having powerful extract for the estate chardonnays, owing to tiny yields in the 1.1 to 1.3 tons-per-acre range. The fruit enjoyed long hang time, as the harvest actually began at a later date than the '97 harvest ended. Though the fruit eventually ripened thoroughly, pHs are a bit lower than usual, so these very strong wines should enjoy slow evolution in bottle.
