About the wine
Hand-harvested at night and barrel-fermented.
- Hand-harvested at night, and gently pressed before barrel fermentation (40% new French Oak) as in the Burgundian winemaking tradition.
- 2013 was a near-perfect growing season in Carneros, Napa's most southern district. The cooler temperatures of the region allow for a longer, gentler growing season so Chardonnay can get perfectly ripe and maintain its natural brightness.
- And Scott's used your Angel funding to make a truly stunning wine. Thought-provoking, lasting and intense, you'll never forget this wine.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Scott McLeod
- When Scott Mcleod said he would make a wine exclusively with Angel funding, everybody in Napa was talking. This guy is seriously famous – after all, he was at the helm of Francis Ford Coppola's flagship Rubicon wine and helped create one of the Valley's most iconic wines.
- And he's incredibly passionate. Scott's actually got his own vineyard now in a beautiful region that he thinks could be more famous than Napa one day.
- And Angels are funding him to make beautiful wines. Besides working for famous directors like Coppola and George Lucas, Scott is just an incredibly talented and passionate winemaker. You're going to love everything he does.
