We source our Chardonnay grapes entirely from distinctive veinyards in Monterey. One, near the Gabilan Mountain range, is comprised of loamy sand, which offers ideal drainage to produce grapes with tremendous flavor concentration. A second vineyard, located in Arroyo Seco, benefits from its valley floor position where its relatively cooler temperatures are perfect for growing Chardonnay. The appearance is golden with aromas of tropical fruit and pear. The palate is contains cantaloupe, crisp apple and oak with subtle hints of vanilla and creme brulee on the finish.
