Release Date: Winter/Spring 2008

This is our 22nd harvest from this special vineyard, which is the oldest in Edna Valley. 2006 was a typically cool year with picking commencing on October 23rd. No other region in California picks this late. As the ocean air cools the vines in late summer, the ripening slows to a crawl and the fruit gains nuance and richness. This is the hallmark of the Edna Valley appellation.

Barrel fermented and aged sur-lie in our mountain cave, the wine is just entering its youthful prime. Honeysuckle, citrus and ripe pineapple flavors are long and opulent. Mouthwatering acidity reflects its cool coastal region.

This Chardonnay has a solid track record and various vintages have been included in the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 wines four times for great quality and value.
