The Chardonnay from Los Carneros provides the bright acidity, citrus notes, and lean backbone of the wine, and the Chardonnay from the warmer growing regions contributes riper, fuller-bodied character. Vanilla aromatics from oak and floral perfume from the fruit precede ripe fruit flavors balanced with bright acidity and a rich mid-palate weight creating a multi-layered, complex wine with a lingering finish. Sip this wine on its own or pair alongside aged cheeses, fresh salad, shellfish or grilled seafood.
Our Recommendation:
While enjoyable now, many drinkers hold for a few years to allow oak integration and developing complexity (drink through the late 2020s). Best served chilled but not ice-cold (about 50–55°F / 10–13°C) to allow aromas and flavors to fully express.
This wine is bright, with aromas of pear, Golden Delicious apple, potpourri and toasty oak on the nose. The flavors on the palate are ripe Bosc pear, white peach, orange marmalade and cinnamon, with layered minerality throughout. Pair with weekday meals.
Notes of cooked lemons, pineapple, dried summer herbs, chamomile and pralines. Full-bodied and creamy yet with crunch and freshness to its rich fruit. Layered and fruit-forward with a spicy finish. Drink or hold.
