Made exclusively using grapes from our own acclaimed Carneros estate vineyard, which we have been farming for more than four decades, this is a vivid and alluring Chardonnay, with layered aromas of lemon, white peach, and clove spice. On the palate, balanced acidity gives the wine a smooth mouthfeel with a refreshing green apple finish.

This is entirely barrel-fermented and French-oak aged, making for a generous, full-bodied lushness on the palate. Creamy tropical fruit, pear and melon are met by sublime texture and well-integrated oak, finishing in a flourish of crème brûlée.

The 2016 Chardonnay Estate reveals lovely aniseed, crème brûlée and lemon zest notions over a core of apple tart, white peaches and clover honey. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the mouth with spiced apples flavors and just enough freshness, finishing with a peppery kick.
