Tasting Notes:
"The 2024 Reserve Chardonnay is sourced from the Carneros Gap Vineyard, a site located in the rolling hills of the Los Carneros AVA in Napa Valley, shaped by wind and fog from San Pablo Bay. Striking golden straw hues with pale yellow highlights appear in the glass opening with aromas of baked apple, pineapple, and hints of citrus blossom, butterscotch, and flint. Flavors unfold with bright citrus tones of grapefruit and papaya, interwoven with white floral and vanilla notes and a refined streak of minerality. Creamy roundness evolves into a silky, vibrant finish carried by notable acidity and weight. This small-batch wine was aged 10 months sur lie in 67% new French oak, with 70% malolactic fermentation. Only 51 cases produced."

Vintage Notes:
The 2024 growing season was defined by heavy winter rains that laid the foundation for another exceptional vintage in Napa Valley. These rains provided healthy soil moisture and canopy growth, supporting balanced vine development throughout the season. Optimal summer conditions combined with meticulous vineyard management lead to white wines with vibrant acidity, layered aromatics, and a refined sense of texture and precision.
