Tasting Notes:

The consistency in this Chardonnay proves to me that terroir is alive and well in California. Supremely layered, briney, and light on its feet. The wine makes you quickly want another sip.

As Erin Brooks, wine reviewer for Wine Advocate, said "this wine captures the incredible push - pull of ripeness and mineral/acid tension that the best Chardonnays in California can produce and as a result will be long-lived in the cellar"

*Wine is unfined & unfiltered, so natural sediment may be in the bottle*
