Tasting Notes
Pale yellow and straw gold in the glass. Refreshing aromas of just-picked star fruit, white peach, parmesan rind and yellow apple perfume the nose. Meyer lemon and Gala apple flavors flood the medium bodied palate. The finish is both crisp and mouthwatering, making this a perfect pairing for bacon wrapped shrimp, lavender goat cheese, pad Thai and angel food cake with whipped cream

Vineyard Notes
Dutton Ranch fruit is some of the most highly regarded in Sonoma County and beyond. It’s climate and soils impart distinctive acidity, minerality, and balance which further elevate our Chardonnay. We work closely with the family to select grapes from various vineyards throughout the region so we can build an incredibly balanced, well-rounded Chardonnay

Vintage Notes
The 2022 vintage started off drier than usual, followed by unprecedented weather including hail in May, heat spikes in September, followed by rain. Despite these challenges, we persevered. Harvest started in early August, and the flurry of activity didn’t let up until all the grapes were off the vine. It was an exciting vintage, challenging our winemaking team with another year of lower than desired yields. Our winemaking team transformed the meager yields into wines with refreshing acidity, as well as striking balance of flavor and mouthfeel. Wines from this vintage are marked by freshness, opulence, intensity, and elegance, all at the same time
