2011 Chardonnay
Brilliant and golden in color, with rich notes of crème brulee, Meyer lemon, peach and white \u001dowers. The mid-palate is teeming
with lemon meringue, pear, green apple, and persimmon with layers of sultry, honeyed fi\u001fgs, toasted hazelnuts and lively citrus.
Our Winemaker Greg Bjornstad believes that care taken in the vineyard creates a beautiful wine in the bottle. His hands-on
approach during the growing season is balanced by a philosophy of allowing the true characteristics of the terroir to express themselves with minimal intervention during winemaking.
