2013 CHARDONNAY, NAPA VALLEY 358 cases - 100 Chadonnay - Aged 10 months in 100 French oak, 25 new
Reminds me of orange blossoms in spring ... Our 2013 Chardonnay, coming from Rancho Sarco Vineyard in Coombsville, Star Vineyard in Rutherford & Dutton Ranch Vineyard in the Russian River AVA, is a study in balance and style. The nose is bright with notes of honeysuckle, lemon zest and tropical fruit paired with subtle hints of orange blossom, vanilla and shortbread providing enticing depth in each glass. On the palate the supple notes of citrus and melon shine brightly and linger on through the mid palate, where they are met by delicate spice and a hint of toasted ground vanilla bean on the long tapered finish.

Clean. Very apparent that it is processed in a steal drum as compared to oak.
