Reflecting a love of white wines from Burgundy, our first chardonnay is inspired by the fruit concentration of the Mâconnais but with the textured elegance of Meursault. This cool climate Santa Barbara clonal blend is ideal for those who prefer elegant styles of California chardonnay that offer a restrained balance of oak and fruit.
Tropical aromas of passionfruit and guava along with ripe pear are layered over hints of honeysuckle and citrus marmalade. The palate is generous and polished, with stone fruit and bright citrus balanced by lively acidity and the use of tasteful oak. The long, juicy finish carries notes of almond skin, coconut, and a light touch of cedar, leaving a fresh yet richly textured impression.
