Always awesome. Montrachet with less structure and acid

This is about the best Chardonnay I have had from CA. Great balance, well integrated, minerals and fruit meet perfectly with just a slight hint of oak.

Gorgeous chard. Drinks like a Montrachet meets Charlemagne burg. Spent 30 months in new oak yet the oak is subtle and takes a back seat to the minerality and mouth watering acidity on the finish. Pineapple, lemon zest, pear and lightly toasted marshmallow on the long and cheek puckering finish. Too bad only 30 cases made.

Chablis like. No oak, no butter. For a CA Chard, surprisingly French. Fruity, lingering finish
