Little Boat Chardonnay Russian River Valley 2022 

William Knuttel is a benchmark winemaker in California. William has been making wine in Sonoma for over 35 Years and is a benchmark producer from the region. William teamed up on the Little Boat project with Brad Alper, who’s square peg vineyard is situated in the heart of the Russian River next to top vineyards such as Aubert’s section of Ulises Valdez, Stoetz Lane (UV-SL) as well as Dutton’s Morelli Lane and Stoetz lane vineyard owned by Bill Price (Kosta Browne).

The collaboration also includes some of the greatest Sommeliers in the world. Harley Carberry (Joel Robuchon), Phillip Dunn (Spago), Lucas Paya (wine director for celebrity chef Jose Andres), and Aldo Sohm (Le Bernardin). It’s also important to add that Aldo Sohm won “Best Sommelier in America” in 2007. This allowed Aldo to represent the U.S. in the “Best Sommelier in the World”, a competition he won, in 2008. The previously mentioned Sommeliers have all had their hand in the production of this wine, styling it to be extremely food friendly, and “Burgundian” in its nature.

This wine can only be found on the wine lists at top Restaurants such as, Spago (Beverly Hills), Picasso (Vegas), Joel Robuchon (N.Y.C.), Le Bernardin (N.Y.C.) as well as Wolfgang Puck’s “Cut”. We are very lucky to receive a small allocation of these wines.

Tasting Notes: Orange blossom, juicy green apple, and rich notes of citrus jump out of the glass. The wine has layering, texture, and round notes of candied apple and bright citrus. There is plenty of length for all you Burgundy lovers out there on the back end.
