2016–a youngster for sure but kicking ass already. No wonder this was the top medaled wine at Sonoma Cty harvest fair.

This is what we strive to be...rich, but balanced. Stuff to show, not showy.

This is lively kickin' pretty perfumed mix of vanilla spice and citrus, with a saturated butterscotch glow. Yellow sour mirabelle plums and peaches. Swervy end note of violet and artificial grape.

Crisp apple and pear. Subtle oak flavor. Low acid and some sweetness of the palate. Overall a very pleasant Chardonnay.
