Mineral driven, delicate and crystalline. Lemon zest, brioche, and struck flint on the nose. Mouth-watering acidity with oyster-shell minerality on the palate of Meyer lemon and pear with a drop of candied lemon and sea salt on the finish.

The Estate Chardonnay really captures in the glass the tension we see between cool air and warm sun. Whole cluster pressed, fermented in barrel, with 20% new French oak, and bottled after 11 months in barrel, and a further 5 months in stainless steel on the lees. **Wine Enthusiast, 94 Points:** "Enticing aromas of buttercream, cake batter and macadamia nut are clean and light on the nose of this bottling. The palate grabs hold with a tart orange-rind note, then opens toward white-peach and grapefruit juice flavors. There's just the slightest hint of nutty opulence." *-Matt Kettman* "The 2019 Chardonnay Estate is fabulous. It shows the combination of aromatic intensity and mid-palate texture that is such a signature of this part of the Sta. Rita Hills. Lemon peel, white flowers and a touch of new oak all grace this super-expressive Chardonnay." *- Antonio Galloni*

"The 2020 Pinot Noir Estate is concentrated and structured and will benefit from more bottle time. Medium ruby, it has intense aromas of dried cranberry, burnt orange peel, cinnamon stick, aniseed, tar and chaparral. The medium-bodied palate is chalky and fresh with crunchy red fruits and loads of botanical and earthy accents, and it finishes with a touch of sweet spice across the finish."
