Winemaker Description
Aromas of yellow delicious apple, lemon curd, white peach, and vanilla bean rise alongside notes of jasmine and crème brulee. On the palate, layers of fresh citrus, poached pear, and melon unfold, accented by hints of vanilla biscotti.
The finish is long and refined, carrying both creamy and mineral textures in perfect harmony. Consecutive winters with abundant rainfall refreshed soil profiles and supported vigorous vine growth across Carneros. The region’s hallmark warm days and cool nights throughout spring and summer provided optimal conditions for steady ripening and acid retention. Consistently warm temperatures into August and September enhanced flavor concentration and aromatic development in Chardonnay clusters.

Expert Review - Prior Vintage 2023, 2022
(Vintage 2023) James Suckling 93 Points | Generous aromas of preserved lemons, flint, grapefruit and brioche. The palate is full-bodied with a creamy, medium-bodied mouthfeel and bright acidity, giving flavors of yellow apples, sliced pears and baking spices. Well balanced, with underlying power.
(Vintage 2023) The Wine Specatator 89 Points | Fresh pear, apple and citrus notes are elegant on a light and sleek frame, with elements of citrus zest and ginger lingering on the finish. Drink now. 85,000 cases made.
(Vintage 2022) MaryAnn Worobiec writes: Light and juicy, this glides along with a harmonious, fruit-forward mix of juicy green apple, lime sherbet and lemon meringue. Details of ginger, lemongrass and shortbread linger in the background. Drink now. - Wine Spectator 90 Points
