Tasting Notes:
Delicate aromas of white flowers and coastal minerality create an inviting nose, setting the stage for a truly memorable Chardonnay. Hints of Kaffir lime leaf, fresh herbs, and zesty citrus elevate the wine’s bright and savory character.

As the wine evolves in the glass, subtle notes of almond skin and gentle citrus harmonize with ripe pear, culminating in a lingering, mineral-rich finish.

Crafted from grapes grown in sustainably farmed vineyards along the Sonoma Coast, this Chardonnay reflects its unique terroir. The cool maritime climate and careful fermentation in French oak barrels lend the wine its distinctive balance of richness and freshness. Time on lees further enhances its complexity and texture.

Pairing Suggestions:
Ideal with dishes like citrus-glazed salmon, roasted chicken with fresh herbs, or a creamy lemon risotto. Its vibrant acidity and layered flavors also make it a delightful match for a selection of artisan cheeses and marinated olives.
