A wine that comprises almost half of the Chardonnay production of the estate, their 2012 Chardonnay Monterey County is a serious value that has classic Chardonnay melon, apple, leafy herbs and tinges of minerality to go with a medium-bodied, fresh and lively feel on the palate. Barrel fermented and aged 9 months in 30% new French oak, it's a classy white to drink over the coming couple of years.

Rich, full-bodied and well-oaked, with ripe pear, fig, honeydew melon and spice notes, ending with a smoky, toasty aftertaste. Drink now through 2019. 24,340 cases made.??–JL??Region: California / Monterey County Select to Add
