The Drake Estate Vineyard is located right on the Russian River near Guerneville and has the same Yolo Sandy Silt Loam soil as found in many of the very best vineyards along Westside Road. Originally planted to Rome apples, a late-ripening variety, the property has proven itself an exceptional location for growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
WINEMAKER COMMENTS: "Perfumed with the essence of Meyer lemon and chamomile tea, the Drake Chardonnay captures your attention. Hints of tarragon add a freshness to the delightful aromatics and are a perfect complement to the note of fresh Brazil nut. Our Drake Estate Vineyard in Guerneville is the ideal spot for Chardonnay due to the long, cool growing season. Round and rich on the palate, the wine exhibits a spherical shape with a Zen-like balance."
