Aromas of yellow apple, orange blossom, honeysuckle, and tangerine skin lead into a rich, textured palate. Flavors of Meyer lemon, pear pastry, and crystallized ginger mesh with subtle notes of toasted brioche and clover honey. The texture is satiny and full-bodied, balanced by vibrant natural freshness that carries through a long, mineral-driven finish.
Hand-harvested from distinct field selections, with each parcel fermented separately in French oak barrels using native yeasts for both primary and malolactic fermentation. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered to retain its natural weight and aromatic complexity.
Grapes are sourced from high-caliber vineyard blocks in the Laguna Ridge section of the Russian River Valley. The vines average nearly forty years of age and feature heritage Chardonnay plantings, where maritime fog and well-draining Goldridge soils allow for extended ripening while maintaining crisp acidity.
