GhostWriter 2020 Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay

The nose is quite clean and focused with a just there aroma set of lemon oil, nectarine, a whiff of peanut skin, and a concrete minerality. The palate is light and lively with an acid, minerality that is nicely balanced by just lemon and white fleshed stone fruits. *Natural Chardonnay* D&M Tasting Notes

The Ghostwriter is about Santa Cruz and it’s many terroirs, old heritage vineyards, and the light, acid driven, pretty, perfumey style of wine that it is capable of. “Ghostwriter” represents the idea that a wine may be the pages that contain a story, but that the story itself belongs to the sites, the vines, and the vintage. The winemaker, when successful, may be a lively storyteller, but only that. This wine has not been fined or filtered and you can expect some sediment or tartrates especially when refrigerated.  Winery Notes
