Nose
Think golden apple and fresh flowers on the nose and something savory but hard to put a finger on.
Palate
Rich tropical fruit on the palate is complemented by a delicious concentration of citrus and honey without being sweet. The smooth mouthfeel is balanced by solid acidity that lingers on the finish.
Growing Conditions
Ideal Goldridge soil, healthy, mature vines, warm days balanced with cool nights and a grower who has been working the land since 1982 all contribute to Robert Parker’s assessment of the vineyard as “...one of the great grand cru Chardonnay sites in California.”
Aging
00% french oak; 30% new; 12 months
