Meyer lemon, white flowers, and subtle hints of oak.
Palate
Golden peach and pineapple, are followed by flavors of graham cracker crust, with a vibrant and concentrated acidity that drives a lingering finish.
Vinification
The fruit is gently pressed, settled for 24 hours then racked to barrel for fermentation. Lees stirred monthly, with the wine aged on lees for approximately 6 months.
Vintage Notes
Sonoma County received record breaking and persistent rainfall throughout winter and
into early spring of 2023. Bud break came late with emerging leaves in late March.
Spring stayed relatively cool, with the trend of running 3-4 weeks behind continued
throughout the growing season and into harvest. The long hang time provided ideal
conditions for flavor development and acid retention. Fruit displayed great flavor
intensity and vibrant acidity during harvest. Our 2023 Chardonnay harvest began
September 21st.
