If Bruce Wayne needed inspiration to become the brooding powerhouse of Batman, this is the wine! Massive dark fruit (blackberry, dark cherry, rich dark chocolate) popping with brighter notes of fresh plums, pomegranate reduction, and blueberry preserves. The rich and layered entry crescendos into a mid-pallet with gobs of intense fruit enveloping bright acidity. The long and lingering finish goes on beyond measure with balanced fruit, oak, and tannins.

It’s been a long two year wait for a new vintage of Chardonnay as our 2020 vintage was “smoked out” by the Glass fire. That being said, great things are worth the wait and our 2021 wines are tasting fantastic! Those of you who have had a chance to enjoy our 2021 Sauvignon Blanc and 2021 Rose of Merlot know the huge potential of this vintage, and this Chardonnay is no different. On the nose you are greeted with aromas of white peach, nectarine, lemon zest, and lychee fruit. The silky entry has layered fruit tones with added notes of orange, Asian pear, with undertones of toasted oak and vanilla spices.
