A 100% Chardonnay from Monterey County, California, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml format. The 2018 vintage earned 90 points and an Editors' Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast, plus a Gold Medal at The Global Masters.
Fruit comes from vineyards shaped by maritime fog and Salinas Valley winds, preserving acidity through a long growing season. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels with lees hand-stirred twice monthly, followed by ageing in oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks.
The nose shows grilled pineapple, Meyer lemon, citrus blossom, tangerine zest, ripe papaya, blanched almond and barrel spice. The palate brings key lime, candied lemon, white peach, honeydew melon, apricot, buttered apple, lemon glaze, river stone minerality and beeswax. The finish is medium, with caramel, soft oak spice and a clean citrus lift.
Tasting Notes
Grilled pineapple and Meyer lemon, then citrus blossom, tangerine zest and ripe papaya, with blanched almond and barrel spice beneath.
Bright key lime and candied lemon, opening into white peach, honeydew melon and apricot, with bâtonnage creaminess, buttered apple, lemon glaze, river stone minerality and beeswax.
Medium in length with caramel, soft oak spice and a clean citrus lift; acidity stays present through the close.
