John and Kathe Dyson purchased the land for their estate winery in 2002, above a bend in the Russian River, where John worked with his team to plant 20 clones of chardonnay. Jeff Mangahas harvests those vines as a field blend, producing this crisp and savory white, a cooling wine that speaks of the breezes racing upriver from the coast. It's a chardonnay with forest greenness, the wildness of an apple tree in the woods, its fruit lively and crisp.
