All from clone 15, the 2018 Chardonnay Call to Adventure comes entirely from the Pratt Vineyard in the Russian River and spent 15 months in 50% new French oak. Offering plenty of Russian River richness in its buttered citrus, peach, and stone fruits, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate and has a kiss of background oak, wonderful balance, and a great finish. Showing more spice and brioche notes with time in the glass, give bottles a year or two and enjoy over the following 5-7 years. | 95 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.comThe nose is crisp key lime and chalk, jasmine and minty vanilla with hints of green apple. The palate entry is sharply-defined pulverized stone, firm under-ripe nectarine with a sleek, bright and long lemon and grain core finishing with dry grapefruit. | 93 points, Doug Wilder for Purely Domestic Wine ReportStarting my own winery marked the beginning of a new adventure: find vineyards from whose grapes I could craft exceptional wine. The Pratt Vineyard was the beginning of my quest to unearth these gems - unique sites that would speak to my soul. With this single bottling, I was able to showcase my approach to Chardonnay.The Pratt Vineyard is located in the heart of the Russian River Valley, a world-renowned AVA in California. The appellation benefits from a coastal influence and a cool climate, both favorable for making outstanding wines from Burgundian varieties. Only four rows of Clone 15 were planted about 20 years ago by Jim Pratt. Thanks to the intensity and complexity of the fruit produced from this site, this Cattleya Chardonnay reflects both the typicity and exceptional quality of white wines we can produce in Sonoma County from this delicate variety.Powerful aromatics of red apple, lemon curd, and Bosc pear combine with citrus blossom and mineral undertones to entice the senses. Richness and seamless texture envelop the palate as you heed the Call to Adventure. 120 cases produced. | Bibiana Gonzales Rave Pisoni for Cattleya Wines
