WINEMAKERS NOTES
Our buttery Chardonnay comes from choice vineyards throughout California’s cool climate growing regions and is blended to create an ideal balance that utilizes those individual vineyards' unique attributes.
MATURATION
We aged this wine on a combination of 40% French oak and 60% American oak, of which 20% was new. This wine underwent 100% malolactic fermentation to get our signature buttery flavor profile.
TASTING NOTES
Buttery flavors of warm brioche, lemon curd, and buttered toffee are supported by a fresh acidity of crisp green apple and a tropical hint of ripe mango and pineapple. Enjoy on its own or with fresh seafood, creamy mushroom risotto, or a salad nicoise.

This wine has great weight and balance. It is nuanced with baked Golden Delicious apple, honeyed peach and pineapple, all wrapped around Meyer lemon and holiday cooking spices, with a lengthy finish. This one speaks to a lot of flavorful dishes from around the globe
