Winemaker's Notes:

Straw green yellow in the glass, this rich Chardonnay embodies what was a near-perfect vintage for coastal Sonoma Coast vineyard sites.  The nose is focused and precise – green apple, Meyer lemon, kiwi and kefir lime.  Supporting notes of toasted shortbread, vanilla and cut grass round out the aromas.  On the palette, clean citrus zest acidity balances out the full body and rich fruitiness.  The barrel fermentation lends to a creamy, luxurious texture and a hint of sweet baking spices.  The finish lingers with wet rock, pineapple and key lime.
