Sourced from the Sonoma Coast where grapes grown in Goldridge sandy loam soil are cooled by nearby Pacific breezes and evening fog. Whole cluster pressed, with blocked fermentation and only 10% new oak. The result is a fresh, crisp foggy-styled Chardonnay. While this delicious wine does provide just a hint of buttery popcorn notes, it is not by any stretch of the imagination a wooden "mallet to the palate", and these flavors integrate well with its fresh, floral, tropical fruit notes and truly lovely acidity.
