WINEMAKER NOTES:
The finished wine is complex, with a long and gratifying finish, making it especially enjoyable alongside Barbara’s sautéed, breaded chicken breasts served with fresh lemon wedges. During Alaskan halibut season, her mesquite-grilled filets paired with homemade tartar sauce offer another perfect match for this delicious Chardonnay.
TASTING NOTES:
Intense and stylish, with a core of Meyer lemon, pear and dried pineapple that's generous, juicy and sleek. Details of brioche, lemon blossoms and crunchy sea salt minerality linger alongside a whiff of lemon verbena.
- Wine Spectator, 92 pts.
This steel-fermented wine offers good acidity and refreshing qualities without an excess of buttery, toasty elements from oak barrels. It was aged on the lees for a nuanced, toasty, minerally effect and is generous in tangy apple, pineapple and lime zest flavors.
- James Suckling, 90 pts.
