The cool Carneros climate gives this otherwise opulent chardonnay just enough underpinning to create finesse and sophistication. It has a very lifted nose of tropical melon, pear, vanillin, butter, clove and coconut. It is full bodied, glossy, sweet-edged and packed with flavour, but as mentioned shows some grace and balance. The length is outstanding. Quintessential California chardonnay. Tasted November 2024.
