From the winery:
Our 2022 Carneros Chardonnay boasts an aromatic nose of crisp apples, ripe melon, and sweet citrus. The bright palate draws on flavors of lemon and Fuyu persimmons, with an edge of stony minerality. Oak aging adds complex notes of vanilla, brioche, toasted coconut, and hints of cinnamon, swathed in a wonderfully rich texture and complemented by a fresh, balancing acidity. 14.3% ABV.
For this Chardonnay, we picked fruit from the Carneros AVA in the Sonoma and Napa regions, an area known as “Napa’s Burgundy” thanks to the cooling fog and breezes from nearby San Pablo Bay. Chardonnay thrives in this region, and wines produced from fruit found here are powerful, bright, and intensely pronounced, with great aromatics and minerality.
93 points, Decanter:
This is a delightful Chardonnay, sourced from the Carneros AVA where cooling fog and breezes allow this grape to thrive. Redolent of apples, melon, and sweet citrus, the wine has a wonderfully rich texture from oak aging alongside fresh balancing acidity that round out its charming profile.
