Description

Our 2014 Chardonnay is rich and creamy with a balanced acidity and finish. The wine offers aromas of lime, pineapple, crème brûlée, and light vanilla with flavors of pineapple, lime, and toasty oak. Enjoy this delicious wine with rich seafood, light chicken and pork dishes, and soft-ripened cheeses.

2014 turned out to be a wonderfully generous vintage. The year started out and stayed warm and dry from spring all the way through harvest. Conditions, with above-average temperatures at night, proved to be near ideal for bringing grapes to maturity. Harvest was remarkably smooth through the end of September, when the region’s one high heat kicked it in high gear. All of this, combined with uniform growing days, is exactly what winemakers hope for. Across the board, the fruit was incredible, providing a richness and layering of flavors only seen in exceptional years.

Most of the grapes for our 2014 Chardonnay came from vineyards in the Central Coast American Viticultural Area (AVA). The cool, dry growing season in this acclaimed region ensures that Chardonnay grapes ripen slowly and evenly, developing luscious fruit flavors that are balanced by crisp acidity and refreshing minerality. An additional 10% were sourced from the Central Valley AVA. The grapes were harvested in September and October 2014.
