Sourced from a tiny 0.6 acre block of Chardonnay grapes in Stewart Vineyard in the Ribbon Ridge AVA. The wine was fermented in neutral French oak to create a rich, rounded texture but with no oaky flavors. It did not go through malolactic fermentation (secondary fermentation) in order to preserve the natural acidity of the wine.

"..Stewed apples, poached pears, almond croissants and spices on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with a nutty, creamy palate." (90pts Suckling Report)
