Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay 2019

In Stock
This chardonnay is a blend of three of our favorite vineyard sites including Mindego Ridge Vineyard, Bald Mountain, and Bruzzone Vineyard. This wine spent a bit less time aging than our single vineyard chardonnays with 10 months in barrel and two months in stainless steel and highlights the fresh side of chardonnay with vibrant high-tone aromatics including notes of lime peel, Asian pear, and flint with a refreshing spine of zingy acidity on the palate typical of these cool climate sites. A touch of toast from a bit of new oak (Barrel Maker: Damy, Forest: Allier, Toast: Long Light) and an inviting creaminess plays counterpoint into the long finish.
