The cool and foggy Carneros region is known for producing grapes with a natural balance of acidity and ripeness. Fruit was hand-picked in the cool of night to ensure it reached the winery in pristine condition. This elegantly balanced, medium-bodied wine is 42% French oak barrel-fermented and aged sur-lie. Aromas of white floral and lemon blossom are mixed with pluot skin, honeydew melon, poached pear and tangerine. On the palate, the wine boasts flavors of meyer lemon and lemon pastry, with mineral notes and a touch of sur lies in the late finish. This Chardonnay has a vibrant acidity with a long finish.

Blend: 100% Chardonnay

A calm, cool wine with crisp acidity supporting nicely ripe fruit flavors and moderate oak spices. Medium-bodied and a bit tangy, offering green apple, white peach and lime zest flavors on a lively yet rounded texture.
