Tasting Notes
White peach, lemon curd and crisp green apples delight the palate while hints of sea salt complete the finish on this delicate wine. This cool climate Chardonnay is light and zesty, while having the ideal acidity for pairing with seafood, poultry, and spicy dishes.

Winemaker Notes
“We were very fortunate to get grapes from River Road Ranch, owned by Lee Martinelli Jr., a fourth-generation farmer. Our grapes come from two different blocks in the vineyard which each exhibit unique flavors. I can tell when harvest is approaching as one block reminds me of fresh baked apple pie and the other a lemon drop candy. The blend of the two makes a really nice combination.” – Tom Parmeson
