Tasting Notes
Release Date: Spring 2024
Like everywhere in California, Edna Valley went through a drought in 2021. From some of the oldest vines in the valley, the yields were extremely low. The grapes were harvested in mid-October, the last major Chardonnay region to be harvested in California.
Very nuanced aromas of honeysuckle, citrus, freshly baked bread, and rose petals; the flavors are very soil-driven, with a solid core of citrus and high acidity. Barrel fermented and aged nine months in older French oak, giving the wine a beautiful texture and finish.
