The 2016 Chardonnay has a pretty perfume of quince, honey and peaches with touches of honeysuckle, hazelnut and baker's yeast. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated and fresh with a silky texture and long finish. This is great for the price point! 80 cases were made.

The 2014 Chardonnay comes from the Alloro and Olson Vineyard, fermented in mostly neutral oak, remaining on the lees for 14 months. It has a generous bouquet with attractive honeysuckle, pineapple, guava and lychee scents that are nicely defined. The palate is well balanced with a crisp edginess on the entry that was unexpected after the nose. There is a fine bead of acidity here, a little grassiness underlying the patina of tropical fruit and it segues nicely into a pleasant leesy finish. Enjoy this over 4-6 years.
