"Our vines are planted in the cooler northern region of the Central Coast of California so the grapes grow slowly and have plenty of time to reach their full flavor potential.
Our Central Coast Chardonnay grapes enjoyed an extended period maturing on the vine, which produced fruit with impressively concentrated flavors. The natural roundness of our Chardonnay was enhanced by partial barrel and malolactic fermentation, coupled with extended aging on the yeast lees, resulting in a luscious, complex wine. The nose reveals lemon blossom, green apple, and peach aromas with smoky oak nuances along with enticing vanilla spice and smoky oak flavors. The creamy, mouthfilling palate creates a lush impression and is balanced by a rich, lingering finish.
