Of course, growing grapes with the environment in mind often results in better, more expressive wine. It just makes good sense: The fewer chemicals that are added to a vineyard, the more clearly the land can express itself without anything getting in the way.
I was asked to explore this concept, with a focus on the new release of the Shafer Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay (the 2008), for an excellent new online publication, GoodLifeReport.com.
