High Latitude generally means cold winters & under-ripe fruit, but the great lake makes for consistent temperatures, producing highly aromatic wines, somewhere between the old world & new.

When white wine is concerned, California is often thought of a hot place, where ripeness is often achieved at the expense of acidity. However there are pockets around the state, as well as careful wine- makers in search of balance.

^hardonnay

Chardonnay from California is often considered the typical style, since the famous judgment in 1976.

These are richer wines with toasty oak often supporting the opulence.

The holy grail; not only are these wines exceptionally exotic, complex, aromatic (and expensive, but justifiably so), but also rare. Tiny quantities are produced, so while they’re long on the palette, the bottles are fleeting.

The wines of Morey-St.-Denis are possibly the hardest to identify stylistically: they’ve got the darkest fruit, but aren’t the fullest, they seem to be the most “mineral”, but aren’t the most high-toned. Delicious & exciting though.
