The 2012 Chardonnay hails from Rancho Sarco Vineyard in Napa’s southern Coombsville AVA as well as Star Vineyard in Rutherford. Notes of honey, tropical fruit, citrus, and orange blossom fill the glass and are accompanied by light barrel vanilla, melon, white peach and caramel on the palate. Stylish and complex, this well-balanced wine shows good volume and weight and has a fantastic length of finish punctuated by bright acidity. We fermented our 2012 Chard entirely with native yeast to promote exotic flavor and aromatic profiles. Drink now through 2016.
