Durell Vineyard - Planted 1980-1990
Durell Vineyard is one of the crown jewels of Sonoma Chardonnay, where the borders of Sonoma Coast, Sonoma Valley, and Carneros meet. First planted in 1979, the vineyard’s 160 acres of vines draw from a rich mosaic of soils — gravelly Los Robles in the flats, cobbly Tuscan and Goulding loams on the slopes, with pockets of Clear Lake clay in between. Winds from the Pacific and San Pablo Bay temper the valley warmth, stretching the season and creating fruit of both richness and lift.
This release is a true dual expression of Durell Chardonnay, composed in equal parts from Clone 95 and the rare Rued selection. The two were harvested at different ripeness levels — one at higher Brix, one at lower — layering ripe, concentrated flavors over fresh, vibrant tones. Clone 95 contributes depth and texture, with fig, dried fruit, and a broad mouthfeel accented by flinty minerality. Rued brings an aromatic lift of floral notes, stone fruit, and subtle muscat-like tropicality. Grown on contrasting soils, elevations, and sun exposures, the two clones come together to produce a wine that is at once powerful and precise: ripe yet bright, complex yet balanced, finishing with energy and elegance.
Access to fruit of this caliber is a rarity. Durell supplies some of California’s most prestigious Chardonnay producers — names like Three Sticks, DeLoach, Kistler, Sojourn, Scribe, Dunstan, La Crema, Banshee, and Auteur — whose wines from this vineyard retail from $50 to $180 per bottle. To secure frozen juice from Durell is to step directly into that lineage, if only for a brief season. Extremely limited. Singular to Durell.
