An enchantingly bold cool-climate Chardonnay that displays zesty citrus notes that intersect in the glass with layers of playful tropical fruit. This wine is rich and creamy, bursting with flavors of fruit tart, key lime pie, and decadent crème brûlée. Refreshing acidity keeps the wine lively on the finish and is then balanced by the excellent accompaniment of vanilla bean and toasted oak.

In 2020, the Edna Valley experienced a slower start to summer, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly. The region saw much warmer temperatures later on in the season, which allowed accelerated ripening, making a unique vintage with bolder characteristics.
