    • Description

      The 2020 season was punctuated by both the hardship and generosity that nature can provide. The season's naturally low yields and ideal ripening conditions have resulted in some examplary wines which will undoubtedly stand the test of time. The nose on the 2020 Chardonnay has lifted florals and citrus leading to white stone fruit. The palate is pure fruited with acid steering the palate and subtle hints of toasty oak.
