About the Wine

Our winemaking team produces individual wine components, selected within each block of our Estate Vineyard, based on their specific flavor and chemistry. These lots are fermented and aged individually, for a period of about nine months. Then our winemaker, Ana Diogo-Draper, selects the higher quality components, which will become part of the final Estate Vineyard Chardonnay presenting you with a blend that truly reflects the fruit from our estate. When blended, each component offers specific aroma and flavor characteristics that develop the distinct style of the final blend.

The 2016 vintage displays an intense aromatic intricacy and subtle notes of vanilla and honeysuckle. On the palate, the wine displays a well-balanced mouthfeel, with lingering flavors of Asian pear and meyer lemon. It flaunts a unique minerality and a vibrant acidity that characterizes this beautiful corner of Los Carneros, Napa Valley.
