WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
This profound and powerful Chardonnay exhibits a rich, complex intensity that can only be found in unfiltered wines. The grapes are predominantly grown in the Carneros region where bay breezes and morning fog combine to create the cooler climate ideal for growing Chardonnay rich with concentrated flavors.
TASTING NOTES:
Toasty, spicy flavors, full body and a creamy texture come together beautifully in this detailed and well-balanced wine. Attractive oak notes of toasted baguette slices and roasted almonds meet Bosc pear, vanilla and hints of lemon, while a silky, elegant texture leads to a lingering finish.

Pure and creamy nose with some toasted hazelnut to the lemons and nectarines. Lightly briny on the palate, with a fine, mineral touch to the long, creamy finish.
- James Suckling, 93 pts.
The 2020 Chardonnay Unfiltered is fresher and steely, with bright, honeyed apple and floral notes to go with a medium-bodied, focused, yet balanced style on the palate. It’s a Chardonnay that makes you salivate and has an almost Chablis-like vibe.
- Jeb Dunnuck, 92 pts.
