It is hard to believe that this wine is our fourteenth vintage of chardonnay. With the amount of chardonnay, we grow we can craft different styles of chardonnay, and this wine is reminiscent of a fine Chablis from Northern Burgundy. Many chardonnay purists will believe this wine represents the perfect interpretation of the grape, due in large part to the nuance found from nose to finish - a real example of perfection in chardonnay. 

The wine has an inviting nose with a mélange of fruit including yellow apple, cantaloupe and fresh pear.  There is also a hint of lemon peel. On the palate the pear becomes dominant with a burst of citrus and a zingy acidity - a real party for the mouth. As the wine finishes there is no angularity but an unusual softness which lingers on the tongue. This is a sophisticated chardonnay which will pair with like textures and completely apposing textures – complimentary and congruent. Pair it with oysters and other shellfish, fish, mushrooms, and cheeses like goat, Comte, and mature cheddar.  Enjoy immediately through 2027!
