Nose
This Chardonnay has bright aromatics with toasty oak notes, vanilla, crème brûlée and orange zest.
Palate
Round and rich mouthfeel with bright citrus flavors and toasted nuts; finishes with bright apple flavor.
Growing Conditions
We source our fruit from the Russian River Valley, Sonoma-Los Carneros, and other choice growing regions in Sonoma County where warm days are tempered by morning fog and afternoon breezes coming from the Pacific Ocean. This climate is well-suited to delicate, early-ripening varieties such as Chardonnay. The fruit develops more slowly and consistently, resulting in wines of exceptional flavor, complexity, and character.
Winemaking
Fermented in 97% French oak (40% new) for 10 months. This wine went through 100% Malolactic fermentation.
