Deep aromatics of lemon curd, chamomile and white pepper from the estate Chardonnay from Eyrie Vineyards is always a blend of young and old vines. Wente and the Sterling Clone come from eight-year-old vines and the Draper selection comes from 57-year-old vines in the original Eyrie Vineyard. The palate shows juicy Meyer lemon pulp and fresh lemon pepper provides a spicy lift with rich, creamy textured mouthfeel that is lifted at the finish by a streak of white pepper.

Fresh citrus and floral character on the nose. A delicious palate exhibiting key lime and mineral notes. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity. Clean citrus finish. Drink or hold.
