This bottling checks a number of boxes, from the zesty lemongrass to damp chalk to honeydew and pineapple rind aromas. The fresh and full palate is tight in texture, with flashy citrus leading into rounded tropical fruit flavors.

This plush white features lots of pastry notes, with concentrated flavors of ripe apple, baked pear and dried peach. Offers a richly spiced finish.

This is a mineral-infused Chardonnay that shows complex aromas of grilled pineapple, lemon oil, apple skin and a judicious touch of oak. The palate has very impressive acid making this a racy guest at the dinner table.

Light on the nose, this shows delicate aromas of Asian pear, honeysuckle, squeezed lemon wedge, fresh coconut flesh and a tiny bit of butter. The palate is also demure yet delicious, with lightly poached apples, squeezed lime and a chalky textural grip.

Get past this wine’s initial toasty scent of oak and you’ll find some delicious fruit; its sunny papaya flavor and salty, marine tang feel like textbook Santa Rita Hills chardonnay, capturing this high-elevation south-facing hillside vineyard with roots in marine sediments.
