Sweet aromas of vanilla bean and pear blossoms with a generous mouthfeel, a weighty creaminess and flavors of butterscotch and golden apples. A rich, satisfying, barrel-fermented wine. Screw cap.

This decadent-style Chardonnay brings rich aromas of barrel spice, roasted apple and white flowers on the nose. The palate is concentrated and weighty, with flavors of nectarine, pear, cinnamon and orange blossom that soften over the finish.
 
Winemaker Notes
The 2024 wine vintage in Sonoma County is being hailed as one of the best in recent memory. Favorable weather conditions throughout the growing season contributed significantly to this exceptional quality. The year began with a cool spring, transitioned into a warm summer with extended periods of heat during the peak growing season, and concluded with mild daytime temperatures and cool nights as harvest approached. This climatic progression allowed grapes to maintain high acidity and develop outstanding quality.
The 2024 Sonoma County Chardonnay opens with aromas of graham cracker, butterscotch, pear, baked apple, and toffee. The palate delivers a beautiful compilation of pear, buttercream, nutmeg, lemon chiffon, caramel, and lemon honey
 
Food Pairings
This versatile Chardonnay pairs perfectly with seafood, poultry, white meats and dishes with cream sauces. Try preparations that include citrus, butter, cream, cheese, bacon, nutmeg, thyme, basil or toasted nuts. Blend:
