“The long, warm Summer followed by mild foggy Fall mornings of 2019 produced wine with vibrancy and depth. This gave our Chardonnay a weighted yet clean, and luxurious mouthfeel. Beautiful golden straw in color leads to layered aromatics of apricot, honeycrisp apple, cinnamon and nilla wafer. The bright acidity shines on the palate from start to finish and is complementary to the viscous texture, a result of the lees stirring during maturation in the barrel. Brown sugar, honeycomb, Meyer lemon, and Asian pear linger on the palate beyond expectation.”
