The majority of this California Chardonnay was picked from the Kautz Vineyard in Northern Lodi and the Mettler Family Vineyard in the Mokelumne River Basin. The cooler climate of Northern Lodi adds vibrant citrus notes, while the warmer Mokelumne River Basin gives the final blend creamy vanilla notes. The remainder of the Chardonnay grapes were sourced from the Sonoma Valley.

Tasting note: Aromas of creamy baked apples, hints of citrus and fresh baked brioche bread. The palates begins with flavours of lemon and ripe citrus that continue into a creamy vanilla mouth feel, ending with a lingering finish of toasted oak.
