Estate Chardonnay
Chardonnay · Fort Ross-Seaview AVA
Tasting Notes
green applelemon curdtoasted briocheoyster shellwhite peach
Grown just four miles from the Pacific, where morning fog rolls in from the coast and evening temperatures plummet by 40 degrees from the afternoon high. The result is Chardonnay of uncommon elegance — more Chablis than California in its restraint.
Nose
Restrained and precise — fresh citrus zest, green apple, and a beautiful briny minerality. Subtle toasty oak notes emerge with air.
Palate
Elegant and tension-driven. The cold fog-belt provenance is unmistakable — pure fruit, bright acidity, and a creamy texture that never obscures the wine's essential freshness.
Finish
Persistent with a saline mineral quality and lingering citrus.

Cellar Notes
"Estate Chardonnay is best enjoyed between 2026 and 2035. Decant for 45 minutes if drinking young. Serve at 60–65°F in a Bordeaux glass."
