A stony coolness from the combination of the old vines and the stainless ferments brings a level of restraint and austerity that adds elegance to the layers that quickly build up on the palate. Fruit density from the low yielding vines and toasty notes from the barrel ferments add richness and length. For a cool climate chardonnay it displays remarkable amounts of fruit alongside the expected notes of citrus, stone and oyster shell brininess. Learn More

Offers intense raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and hints of bright blood orange and spice cake, along with a touch of licorice. Silky tannins give shape and focus to a long, sharply focused finish that continues the floral note. Learn More

This is a wine that fills and coats the mouth, driving into a very long completion set apart by kinds of espresso beans and dark cocoa. Learn More
