The 10-acre block of Chardonnay, cultivated without irrigation, was planted between 1980 and 1981, featuring the Wente Selection of Chardonnay. These robust, twisted vines seldom yield more than 2 tons per acre; however, their limited quantity is outweighed by the exceptional quality and intense flavor they produce. The rows are generously spaced, reflecting the farming practices of that era. The vineyard's soil composition comprises sandy loam and river gravel. Positioned in the coolest section of the property, the Chardonnay is typically harvested around the same time as, if not later than, the Zinfandel.

Iron Horse Native Yeast Chardonnay is produced from grapes that had some skin contact in the press with the aim of enhancing flavor extraction. Fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels to fully integrate the sweet oak flavors. Frequent lees stirring, or ‘batonnage’ occurs to contribute texture and enhance the mouthfeel giving the wine greater mid-palate weight and breadth.
