Kite Tail is from the bluff top on the estate where the soils are well drained and the winds are high. Slowly harvested over 3 weeks and then fermented to full malolactic. It then spends 16 months in 50% new french oak. Definitely a bit on the richer side of the spectrum, but the freshness of the fruit and the cutting acidity make it a high quality example of cool weather cali chard.

Classic Carneros Chard from great producer. Restraint on oak lets the fruit and acid shine through.

Nicely balanced Chardonnay that will keep one coming back. Distant hints of butterscotch, lime, and French oak.
