One of original Flowers winemakers. Monstrous chard, round and rich and unabashedly exuding burnt toast aromas. I don't recommend it for breakfast, however.

Kicking it up a few notches from his North Coast offering. Find it.

Greg LaFollette, Winemaker has a terrific way of showing off the vineyard terroir perfectly. Fruit forward winemaking. Slight oak...not buttery, pear maybe even peach...some citrus too. Nice.

Greg calls this wine "sex in a bottle" because of its musky character he attributes to the vineyard. Balance of funk and freshness and love the texture.

Nice wine. Still a little too buttery for my taste.

Wish I remembered where I found this gem, but it is one of my fave Chardonnays. Full bodied, with perfect amount of fruit, mineral, and smoothness.
