I was a huge fan of the 2012 Small Lot with its wild ferment and all the other goodness that went into it. I’m also a fan of the turn around and re-focus Rockway has put on their wines. The 2013 is not as ballsy a Chardonnay as the 2012 but it sure is reminiscent of it. The nose is apple skin, poached pear and slightly buttery. The palate shows a nice weight and good cleansing acidity with butteryness that wrap around white fruit goodness: apples and peaches with a nice touch of buttered toffee on the finish.
