Family-owned winery, founded by the Williams Family in 1981, devoted to sustainable principles and producing wines with respect for terroir. Fermented in new French oak barrels, usually four to five days then racked to concrete vessels to complete fermentation sur lie for 10 months. Pale light gold with medium+ aromas of floral, stone and citrus fruits. On the palate this full-bodied wine shows flavors of peach, tart apple and lemon peel flavors. Long finish with generous acidity ending with an earthy nutty wet stone character. Nice! Tasting Sample.

They are really dialing in their Chardonnay program. Bright and balanced with nice flinty reductive notes.

2016 vintage. Mild, a little watery in flavor, but balanced, with soft summer fruit and a little nuttiness, solid medium-body, very pure-feeling and not heavy at all. And so good on a hot day with a deli sandwich.
