Reserve Chardonnay 2023
Our 2023 Reserve Chardonnay carries on the tradition of perfectly balanced barrel-fermented Chardonnays. Pale gold in color, the aromas are of honeysuckle, yellow apple, pear, and Meyer lemon. The moment you taste, the wine-rich textures fill the mouth with a full-bodied, luxurious feeling of depth and complexity. Balance is the key to this wine, with soft fruits of ripe yellow apple, pear, and lemon meringue that are countered by light toast, caramel, brioche, and honey. A finish that lingers, leaving warm memories of apples and custard. Pair with salmon, lobster, and Dungeness crab or any rich gooey cheese.
