2018 Chardonnay
Our 2 acres of Robert Young clone are known for distinct viscosity and richness that is readily apparent both in the glass and on the palate. Our 2018 chardonnay is lush and luxuriant and displays soft aromatics of mango, pineapple and freshly sliced banana, accented by vanilla, brown baking spices and toasted hazelnuts. The palate unfolds with primary flavors of baked pear and banana. Secondary flavors of coconut, cinnamon and nutmeg emanate from the medium toasted French oak barrels. 50% malolactic fermentation integrates citrus laced coastal acidity into a soft, creamy, mineral-driven finish. This wine will further develop over the next 2-5 years but drinks beautifully today.
