2021 Chardonnay, Sangiacomo Vineyard, Carneros

Opens with generous aromas of crème brûlée, ripe honeydew melon and a touch of baking spice. On the palate, a luscious, rich texture envelopes the taste buds, delivering wave after wave of Asian pear, cantaloupe, Meyer lemon, hazelnut cream and a distinct crushed chalk minerality. Nuances of toasty oak surround the ripe fruit, building the length on the palate and sustaining a steady evolution of flavors for a fresh, clean finish.

This complex and classic Chardonnay is sourced from two distinctive blocks of the Sangiacomo Vineyard in the Carneros region of the southernSonoma Valley. It is grown in the alluvial soil of the Sonoma Mountain foothills on a southeast-facing slope, warmed by morning sun and cooled by afternoon breezes off the San Pablo Bay.
