"Rich, golden character with ripe fruit and pleasant oak nuances. Aromas of poached pears are encircled by toasty-sweet toffee and caramel notes. Barrel fermentation and sur lie aging lend a rich creaminess to the mouthfeel, adding layers of crème brûlée, caramel and baking spices to the juicy baked apples and pear. Lemon meringue leaves a bright impression on the long finish. Pair this well-balanced Chardonnay with scallops or other rich seafood."

"Aromatics are the order of the day for our Napa chardonnay, which speaks loudly of our cool climate, marine-influenced vineyard. Oaks take a lesser role in recent vintages, and we celebrate the fresh, crisp style that complements many foods by allowing less than a quarter of the wine to undergo malolactic fermentation. Bright fruits boasting of pear and green apple are accented with a bit of citrus zest and honeybell, balanced with a creamy brioche and touch of vanilla. We age the wine in mostly neutral French oak to enhance mouthfeel. This is the new face of California chardonnay, a wine to enjoy as an apéritif or as a worthy complement to wonderful presentations of your favorite dishes."

"Aromas of hazelnut and grilled pineapple are followed by flavors of lush, tropical fruits, balanced by a hint of citrus. A rich, creamy mouthfeel is rounded out by a lengthy, elegant finish."
