Minty-eucalyptus, smoked green chiles (in a good way) and fatty bbq smoke on the nose. Elegant mouthfeel with plum, peach skin and dark cherry notes. Finish is cocoa and light tobacco with a hint of soy sauce. Needs some time to fully integrate. — 11 years ago

"Medium-light golden yellow color; attractive, spicy, baked apple aroma with a hint of cinnamon; medium-full body; slightly fleshy, crisp apple and pear flavors with good depth and intensity; lingering aftertaste. Very highly recommended."
- Nick Ponomareff, California Grapevine, March 2014

Our appellation Chardonnays are given less new oak - twenty to twenty-five percent - and spend less time in barrel - twelve months - than the single-vineyard wines, but otherwise are made identically to them. This includes whole-cluster pressing for delicacy, native-yeast fermentation, aging sur lies with bâtonnage, and full native malolactic fermentation. — 11 years ago
