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.

The 2019 growing season featured a mild summer which allowed the grapes to ripen slowly. Heat waves and rain spells were limited, and the harvest was slow and cool. As a result, this vintage shows exceptional quality, elegance and the racy trademark acidity the Edna Valley is known for.
