Wine Profile

Production Notes
Varietal Composition: 100% Chardonnay
Winemaker Notes
Grown high on the limestone-rich soils of Mt. Harlan, this beautifully aromatic wine displays expressive aromas of Asian pear and lemon zest that rise from the glass. The palate reveals Meyer lemon, chalky minerality, and delicate brioche notes, carried by vibrant acidity and a crisp finish.
Production
With more than 43 inches of rain, 2023 was the wettest year on record since the planting of Mt. Harlan. Not only did the rains last into the spring, delaying budbreak, but due to moderate spring and summer temperatures, we did not achieve full verasion until early September. While the season was quite late, great weather in late September and October helped the vines to achieve excellent ripeness. Harvest was very condensed, starting on October 9th and concluding on October 26th, yielding pristine clusters and bold flavors. The resulting wines are beautifully balanced and poised while also displaying remarkable terroir-driven intensity.
