2016 WindVane Chardonnay

WindVane Chardonnay is selected from the most expressive vineyard blocks throughout 335 acres of estate vineyards –a unique property has an East facing exposure combined with a tall mountain range to the West. The mountains provide altitude, shallow rocky soils, shade from the intense afternoon sun and they also serve to funnel the intense Pacific Coast breezes directly onto the vineyards. Vines from the windiest, steepest, and rockiest areas of the vineyards where the soils are very thin produce small crops of very slow ripening fruit that produce intense character.

“The 2016 Carneros Chardonnay features notes of apple pie, ripe Bosc pears and lemon curd with hints of nutmeg and coriander seed. Medium-bodied, it has a lovely suggestion of oiliness to the texture and plenty of freshness lifting the apple and citrus flavors, finishing on a spicy note.”
