The 2020 Carneros Chardonnay is fresh and vibrant, leaping from the glass with a bouquet of citrus aromas, white floral blossom, honeysuckle, and lifted notes of vanilla crème. The palate is layered and creamy with nuance and depth. Pleasing juicy fruit notes of candied lemon peel, pineapple, and white pear come through with a touch of white pepper spice and brioche toast from the delicate oak aging. Viognier adds hints of elderflower and a rich lanolin texture. Mouthwatering, with a core of zesty acidity underpinning the luscious complexity of the wine. Finishing long, dry, clean, and refreshing, this wine invites you to sip, savor, and repeat.
Blend: 85% Chardonnay, 15% Viognier

92 Points/James Suckling This is tight and phenolic with a creamy texture, yet it’s fine and tight with focused acidity and lovely length. Long, tight finish. 15% viognier.
