Release Date: Spring 1994

For someone like me who grew up in California and has seen the population skyrocket, Edna Valley is a splendid time capsule.  As you enter the valley from the coastal highway, I am continuously struck at how beautifully empty the land appears.  Approaching the verdant patches of vineyards amoung the dry, golden hills; brings back memories of aromatic citrus groves scattered strategically throughout the still agrarian southern California landscape

1992 marked the end of a severe drought in Edna Valley and a superb Chardonnay vintage ensued.  The wine was totally French barrel fermented and aged deep in our mountain cave.  Complex and creamy, the fully developed Chardonnay fruit is impressive at first sip and continues to develop in the glass.
