By turns juicy and crisp, this youthful chardonnay leads with scents of apple fritters and pear; the fruit smells glazed and rich, only to firm up with brisk acids. It’s frisky now, and could use a bit of cellar time.
 
Winemaker Notes
Our Dundee Hills Chardonnay is a melange of all the Chardonnay clones from our property. Whole cluster pressed to mitigate phenolics, alluring aromatics of ripe pear and lemon meringue fill the glass. The palate is vibrant yet focused, thanks to the mixture of aging vessels used. Flavors of lemon curd and candied ginger along with hints of wet stone fill the front and mid-palate, carrying the initial vibrancy to a long soft finish.
