Pacific ocean breezes gently cool the vineyards of southern Dry Creek
Valley producing Chardonnay fruit that is refreshingly juicy and sweet.
The result isa wine that's full bodied with a twang of cool acidity.
Fermentation in oak barrels and a second malolactic fermentation also
give it a delicate, creamy texture. This is one well pampered
Chardonnay. Vibrant aromas of melon, pear, and lightly baked apples hover
above notes of vanilla bean and flaky pastry dough. the wine's plump
texture is balanced by flavors of fresh orchard fruit and a dose of
minerality. It begs to be served alongside grilled scallops, creamy
pasta, or roasted chicken, but is equally happy hanging out by itself.
