Winemaker notes:
The northwestern reaches of the Carneros appellation run right up to the hills that separate Sonoma and Petaluma. At the base of the eastern face of these hills lies our Big Bend Vineyard. Blessed with morning fog, warm sunny days and the cooling influence of the consistent afternoon breezes, Big Bend is a site that is perfect for ripening Chardonnay. Our Big Bend Chardonnay displays lovely deep, rich tropical fruit and green apple aromas with a note of vanilla and toast. On the palate, the wine presents pineapple and apple flavors with citrus zest notes and a lush mouth feel. The bright citrus notes carry through the lengthy finish.
