v.2019 Chardonnay, COE
Tasting notes
Aromas of fresh cream and a suggestion of white truffle. Intense Meyer lemon and kumquat fruit on the brisk palate. Balancing richness with tones of vanilla and cardamom. Intense natural acidity allows this wine to provide a counterpoint to richly sauced dishes that employ subtle spices.
Our flagship Chardonnay draws from mature vines within select sections of our Estate Vineyards. Predominantly east facing, with lean sandy soils, our fruit naturally develops bright acidity and a citrus flavor spectrum.
In the cellar, we employ native yeast fermentations in French oak, concrete vessels and acacia wood barrels to develop richness and layers of flavor. The cooling presence of the nearby Pacific Ocean is felt in the lean, balancing acidity and mineral notes that play against the bright fruit and spice tones.
Exceptional at the table and very well suited to mid-term cellaring.
