Chardonnay

Tasting Notes

Enticing aromas of vanilla custard, bright citrus zest, and toasted hazelnut emerge from the glass in this 2024 Sonoma County Chardonnay. The palate reveals layers of ripe golden apple and juicy pear, supported by notes of white peach and pineapple. A rich, satin-like texture is balanced by refreshing acidity, while hints of baking spice and a touch of honeyed richness add depth and intrigue. The finish is smooth, refined, and impressively long-lasting.

Story

The Private Reserve wines are the ultimate wines within the portfolio; limited in production, sourced from the finest vineyards in Sonoma County and from appellations best suited for a specific varietal given the dramatic diversity in climatic and soil conditions across the County. The Private Reserve Chardonnay was primarily sourced from the Falcon Ranch Vineyard with the balance from Lorenzo and Hawk Hill vineyards.
