OASIS, Chardonnay
Loma Verde Vineyard

The 2005 Oasis Chardonnay will be a great foil for our estate grown Top Cream Chardonnay. The Oasis section is in the Loma Verde Vineyard in the Los Alamos corridor of Santa Barbara County, and in fact, it can be seen from Highway 101. Oasis is basically the tips of some longer rows in a section of Chardonnay known to the grower as block 3C. The ends of these rows drop down from the main bench on to a little south east facing hillside. Guess what's under that hillside. Limestone!

In an area where upwellings of limestone are few and far between, there it sits, like an oasis. The wine, is remarkable.

2005 "Oasis" Chardonnay is SOLD OUT.
2006 "Oasis" Chardonnay is still available.
