Our chardonnay grows on just four acres of hillside vineyard rising gently above Mark West Creek, where the cool air maintains the fruit’s natural acidity. Planted from a historic clonal selection originating in the old Wente Vineyard (Alexander Valley), our chardonnay is a more classic, subtle expression of the variety than most California styles. We find green apple and asian pear on the nose, with green cardamom, toasted hazelnut, and a hint of lemon curd complementing a crisp, mineral palate.
