Winemaker Notes
The grapes for this wine were grown primarily in our St. Nicolas Vineyard in the Arroyo Seco appellation of Monterey County. This vineyard’s eastern facing slopes catch the morning sun in this cool-climate appellation. The unique soil combination of Lockwood Loam and Rincon Clay Loam is well-drained and rocky, challenging the vines to yield grapes of depth, character, and intensity. The extended growing season ripens the Chardonnay perfectly, creating well-balanced, flavorful wines.
