Sourced from the historic cool-climate gem, Jameson Canyon Vineyard, located in southeastern Napa Valley, this Chardonnay shines a brilliant yellow-gold. Aromas of brioche and barrel spice lead to crisp pear, apple, ginger, and a hint of honey. The palate offers rich, concentrated fruit beautifully seasoned with oak, a standout from the best vintage in over 20 years. The perfectly balanced, bright, and firm texture promises to age gracefully for 15 years or more. Barrel fermented in 84% new French oak for 11 months. Only 75 cases produced.

Vintage Notes:
Described as “a vintage for the ages”, the 2023 growing season surpassed all expectations. Early record winter rainfall set a perfect foundation, followed by a moderately warm spring, which contributed to a later bud break, resulting in a slow ripening curve. Summer heat spikes guided cluster development on track and ensured optimal conditions for a later harvest with unparalleled grape quality and complexity.
