The “King of Chardonnay” Mike Grgich farms w/o pesticides and certified organic. Aged 10 months, no MLF. Medium lemon color with aromas of stone & citrus fruits. On the palate flavors of apple, pear & lemon citrus flavors, with honeysuckle, vanilla & toasty oak notes. Nice balance with acidity on long finish with a toasty mineral ending. Not your typical CA Chard, very nice!

Lemon / pear on the palate. Less oak than in the past (a good thing) so a cleaner Chardonnay. February 2023.

Extremely fruit forward. Melons and pears. Pretty much fruit cocktail throughout with subtle acidity. Probably needs some age.
