Ambullneo

Only four extraordinary barrels chosen by Greg Linn make up this very limited offering. Now in small cooperage from Troncais Damy, this lovely juice is now beautifully integrating the finely grained new oak that was air-dried for three years, then toasted. This champion is our translation of Leflaive – but with a California accent. Fat and lush while young, we expect bottle age will melt the nutty notes of toasted new oak into opulent richness braced by focused acidity.

Wine Advocate

Ambullneo’s debut single vintage white is the 2006 Chardonnay Solomon Hills, a 100-case cuvee that was put through full malolactic fermentation. Deep, full-bodied, and rich, with a Batard-Montrachet-like, honeysuckle, marmalade, lemon butter, and popcorn-scented style, this fat, fleshy Chardonnay possesses good acidity as well as a long, heady finish displaying loads of tropical fruit. Enjoy this striking effort over the next 2-3 years.
