TASTE WITH THE WINEMAKER
"This Chardonnay showcases the dynamism and energy of the Russian River Valley as it displays both a vibrant aspect of fruit and a confident oak profile. The wine also presents beautiful layers of crisp, bright Asian pear and golden apple that lead to luscious notes of lemon curd developed from malolactic fermentation. With a deft baseline of toasted oak introduces notes of buttered French toast and hints of crème brûlée, which are complemented by a signature backbone of acidity nurtured on the Sonoma Coast."
– Dave Guffy, Director of Winemaking
