Description

Our single vineyard and small lot releases enable us to deliver some of our finest expressions of chardonnay by concentrating on specific vineyards, clonal selections or techniques. The Parker West Vineyard is a dynamic site planted in sandy soils on a windswept hillside only a few miles from the cold Pacific Ocean. 

This chardonnay offers up generous notes of lemon cream, citrus, yellow peach, golden apple, toasty oak and vanilla all backed by bright, refreshing acidity.

 

Wine Critic Reviews
"...a very pretty, airy Chardonnay. Citrus, mineral, white flowers, mint and white pepper are all finely articulated in a Chardonnay that stands out with its airy, transparent personality." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous "This is a generous white, leading with scents of vanilla, apple and pear. The attack is pleasingly creamy, dense with chewy and sweet flavors, with a citrus lift at the back end that frames the wine nicely." ~ Wine & Spirits "A golden hue in the glass, this wine is creamy on the nose, with hazelnut and dried peach aromas. The palate is viscous and rich, with toasty flavors of nuts, baked lemon and vanilla spice." ~ Wine Enthusiast
