CERTIFIED SUSTAINABLE WINERY
JEB DUNNUCK 94 POINTS - "Coming mostly from Coombsville and Carneros and aged eight months in 43% new French oak, the 2024 Chardonnay Napa Valley is a beautiful, classy, rich, yet fresh and vibrant expression of Chardonnay. Stone and orchard fruits, honeyed white flowers, spice, and a kiss of classy wood all shine on the nose, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a pure, focused, vibrant mouthfeel, integrated acidity, and a great finish. There are 5,771 cases produced. Drink 2025-2030."
