Apple, pear and Meyer lemon with understated oak. Shows a welcomed hint of minerality. Great length and structure.

Great balance and very smooth. Not the typical Sonoma Chardonnay with flinty taste. This is the Last Chance edition from the Dry Creek vines, which are being replace in Kate 2017.

2015. Mango, stone, and apricot. Very nice acidity with the perfect amount of oak (which is to say, very little). Lacks value at a $30 price point however.
