As with her Pinot Noir brothers, this Chardonnay from the famous Bien Nacido Vineyard is also aged for 11 months in 35% new French oak barrels. A big and full-bodied Chardonnay that also has high levels of alcohol that complements its bold flavors. Notes of fresh yellow peach, cantaloupe, baked red apple, toasted clove, and cream custard meld together with the medium acidity and full mouthfeel. The back palate brings spicy tones and a lengthy finish. 498 cases produced.
