Winemaker's Notes

Our 2022 Estate Chardonnay is fragrant with aromas of ginger, Meyer lemon, and subtle marzipan, complemented by a hint of pie crust, the wine offers vibrant citrus tones on the palate, mingling with crisp Granny Smith apple, peach, apricot, honeydew melon, and fresh pear. Embracing its fruit-forward nature, this Chardonnay boasts a well-rounded character and finishes with a refreshing, evocative hint of cool ocean breeze.
