The 2023 Chardonnay Estate is wonderfully expressive! It has inviting aromas of poached pears, quince, vanilla, beeswax and hazelnut. The medium-bodied palate features pure, mineral-laced flavors and a seamless, silky texture. It’s balanced by vibrant acidity and has a very long, elegant finish.

The 2023 Chardonnay Russian River Valley is a bright golden yellow color and is savory and fresh, with a lovely bouquet. The pure, ripe palate has fantastic clarity in its notes of fresh pineapple, fresh golden citrus, wet stones, and fresh white peach, and it has a long finish. Drink 2025-2035. This is a contender for top lists.

A distinctive version, offering a creamy, elegant mix of poached pear, tangerine and wildflower honey, with honeysuckle accents. Its details of cardamom and white peach are complex and detailed, while a toasted brioche element and a drizzle of sweet cream emerge on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2036. 2,280 cases made.
