This Chardonnay exhibits aromas of grilled citrus and pineapple, opening with time into dried flowers and lemon verbena. Vivid flavors of citrus, pear, and a focused texture are driven by the cool conditions and naturally low-yielding vines from this unique growing site.

Vineyard & Vintage Character
2023 was another interesting season in the cool climate of Marin County, with extended ripening and flavor development due to the later-than-normal harvest date. This wine is sourced from a small, dry-farmed vineyard on rolling hills in an area of Marin that has been home to cattle and dairies for the last century. Today, there are small vineyard sites scattered across Marin that are producing very interesting and distinct fruit.
