2023 Reserve Chardonnay
Jespersen Ranch
In Stock
Our Chardonnay vines thrive in the coastal environment of Jespersen Ranch in the Edna Valley, and derive their character from the rolling banks of coastal fog in the morning and ocean breezes in the afternoon. For this Reserve Chardonnay, we aimed to harmonize the vibrant, fresh fruit character of our coastal vineyard with a rich, refined structure. We fermented the juice in French oak barrels, followed by 14 months of aging on the lees in the same barrels, enhancing texture, creaminess, and depth. This is a Chardonnay that seamlessly balances richness and energy, revealing layered notes of baked apple and pear tart, complemented by toasty oak and subtle hints of crème brûlée.
