Description

Back by popular demand with this 2023 vintage are half bottles! This 375ML format is perfect for outdoor picnics, afternoons at the beach or those evenings when just a glass or two will do.

Since 1989 our family owned and operated winery has produced wines of superior quality and value. This handcrafted wine represents the best of what Santa Barbara County Chardonnay has to offer. Flavors of ripe apple, butter, lemon, and melon are perfectly balanced with light toasty oak on the palate.

Wine Critic Reviews

"...soars from the glass with striking aromatics. Hints of apricot, lemon peel, white flowers and crushed rocks follow. Effortless and gracious, the 2023 is a winner. The blend of sites picked at different levels of ripeness yields a Chardonnay of notable complexity, while a touch of Hungarian oak adds an attractive spicy character." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous
