Planted in 1999, our Mountain Estate Vineyard, Chardonnay, is rooted in steep, rocky soils at 1,300 feet elevation, and planted with the 45 degree fall line on our only northeast-facing slope. Owing to this particular aspect, these vines receive cooler morning light and minimal exposure to any hot afternoon sun, which has proven ideal for the gradual ripening and maximum maturation of Chardonnay grapes.

Beautiful aromatics of citrus blossom, citrus fruit and lemon custard. On the palate this wine opens beautifully into a honeyed, full-bodied expression of mountain terrior, showing both rich phenolic content and minerality. The high-tone citrus notes are complimented by a hint of stone fruit and finish with bright, mouthwatering acidity.
