Estate Vineyards provide the backbone to this expressive Napa Valley Chardonnay. Notes of bright citrus-lemon and green apple are complemented by toasty vanilla and a kiss of minerality from the soil. Barrel fermentation enhances the citrus fruit flavors and balances acidity, while partial malolactic fermentation adds body and creamy crème brûlée character to the mid-palate.

This versatile Chardonnay has two distinct personalities: serve well chilled (55° F) for a bright and fruity expression in the glass; pour out a bit warmer to bring a honied richness and oak to the forefront.
