Light straw to gold in color, the Carneros Chardonnay opens with classic aromas of lemon, apple and lime, with an intriguing hint of cinnamon. The palate is mineral focused, with peach and Asian pear joined by white pepper. Crisp and intense, the finish leaves a lingering spice note held together with elegant acidity.

There’s a depth and intensity to this that the regular estate chard doesn’t have, with sliced cooked apple, white peach and crushed stone character throughout. Full-bodied yet it’s electric with very energetic acidity at the end that gives it lift and verve. Dense center palate yet light on its feet. Drink young to enjoy the youthful state but it will age beautifully. Drink or hold.
