This Chardonnay from one of Monterey's great, under-the-radar producers offers a different proposal: no oak. The result is vibrancy and elegance alongside stone fruit, guava and citrus aromas and flavors. Think of this as a perfect brunch or seafood wine, equally comfortable with quiche as it is with shrimp or crab. A surprising and delightful rendition of Chardonnay.
“Lively aromas of white peach and asian pear. Bright acidity, minerality, fresh and vibrant on the palate with layers of citrus. Texture and richness lead to a round and complex finish. It was an early vintage set by some warmer weather in September. Lower than usual yields, but extremely good quality and concentration in the wines.” KRIS KATO, WINEMAKER
