With 60% Mendocino and 40% Lodi fruit, this 100% Chardonnay was fermented in stainless steel and aged slightly on its lees in oak. It has some elegance to the medium+ intensity nose which features pear and apple, fruit forward aromas with touches of lemon citrus and earthy-stony minerality adding complexity. On the dry, medium-full bodied palate it has a lovely earthy mineral, pear, apple, and spice flavours which are supported by well-balanced acidity. It's nicely textured with delicious pear and apple notes lingering on the long, balanced finish. Tasted Apr. 2024.
