A powerful yet refreshing Chardonnay. Aromas of lemon curd, orange blossoms, and poached apples. The palate is medium-bodied and creamy, with a focused acidity complemented by lingering notes of Asian pears, grapefruit and spiced quince. Drink or hold. 92 POINTS

“Gorgeous, indulgent fruit and chocolate flavors infuse this big but velvety wine as it drips with blackberries, blueberries and black cherry syrup. It is full bodied, softly tannic and entirely mouth-filling. 92 POINTS” —Jim Gordon

“This saturated, broad and super-ripe wine is laden with blueberries, cooked cherries, dark chocolate and cream flavors on a luxurious texture of soft tannins and soft acidity. Best through 2030. 93 POINTS”—Jim Gordon

We began harvesting the Chardonnay from Paul Larson’s Carneros District vineyard on October 18, and it was one of the most bountiful and tasty crops from those vines in the 20 years that we’ve worked together.
