tasting note

Very pale gold in color, this classic Chardonnay is the ideal balance of Old World restraint with California sunshine. The aromas and flavors are delicate, with citrus, floral and mineral notes on a wine of fresh acidity and medium body.

points of distinction

• Grapes come from cool climate sites within Napa Valley, producing a fresh style of wine.
• Ages 8 months on lees in French oak barrels for added complexity
• No malolactic fermentation is allowed, to preserve fresh, bright acidity in the wine.
