It wasnt a customer service request. It was a shot at first access to ten gorgeous barrels of single-vineyard Chardonnayat an exclusive discount.

See, the vintners at Ragtag Wine Co. are loyal Wine Access members (and buyers), and with a small allocation to offer, they thought of us. And when we tasted their 2019 Morrow View Chardonnay, we locked in every bottle theyd let us have. Thats why you wont find this wine, or the deal we have on it, anywhere else.

Bold and rich, with a weight and palate presence that puts it in the company of $50 bottles from Napa and Sonoma, this is an impressive wine that will absolutely THRILL lovers of bold Chardonnays like Rombauer, Kistler, and Grand Sonnerie. Its well worth the $38 they charge at the winery, but our commitment unlocked a massive discount for our members that brings the price down to just $25 per bottleand even lower if you grab a case.

Calls like this dont come in often, so stock up while you can!

That combination makes for one of the longest growing seasons in California, which means that winemaker Jeff Huskey can let his Chardonnay ripen fully on the vineand then keep on waiting some more, confident that he can develop decadent fruit flavors and plenty of texture while keeping the finished wine bright and crisp.

Once he brings in the beautiful bunches of Chardonnay grapes, Jeff applies a vinification protocol that would be familiar to any veteran of the best Chardonnay houses in Napa and Sonoma. The wine is fermented in barrel20% newand then aged for over a year, with btonnage every six weeks. That combination of longer aging and lees-stirring develops texture and a rich mouthfeel, while a partial blocking of malolactic fermentation helps keep the wine refreshing.

Normally, this wine would be sold through Ragtags tasting room, but weve got a small allocation thanks to our relationship with the winerytheir Cabernet is one of the best-selling wines weve offered this year. Take advantage while this is available.
