Nose
Aromas of honeysuckle and peach.
Palate
Its medium body reveals hints of minerality and complexity from nine months of sur lies aging.
Growing Conditions
The 2019 vintage evolved into an almost perfect growing season. Heavy rains transitioned into a mild summer with warm temperatures continuing through the autumn. The cool mornings helped retain vibrancy and freshness in the wines and the mild afternoon temperatures provided plenty of hangtime. 2019 wines are characterized by their texture and finesse, getting better and better with age.
Winemaking
Whole cluster pressed. Fermented and aged in stainless steel as well as neutral French oak barrels.
Aging
Aged on the lees for nine months with minimal racking and minimal stirring.
Appearance
Our 2016 Chardonnay demonstrates a brilliant, youthful color.
