From a vineyard in the Fort Ross-Seaview area—on the second ridge inland from the ocean, at about 1300-1400 feet above sea level, the 2020 Chardonnay Ma Douce was barrel fermented using indigenous yeasts in about 25% new French oak. Scents of pastry crust accent nectarine and citrus fruit on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is bright, vibrant and crisp, with a lingering finish.
