The grapes for this Chardonnay come from the Truchard Vineyard in Carneros, known for its dense, clay-rich soils and a maritime climate that prolongs the growing season. This results in grapes with balanced color, flavor, and acidity. After whole-cluster pressing, the juice was barrel-fermented in French oak and aged sur lie for 10 months, with frequent stirring to enhance richness and complexity. 30% of the blend underwent malo-lactic fermentation, contributing to a creamy mouthfeel. The vineyard's long-term contracts ensure consistency from vintage to vintage, producing a consistently high-quality wine.

Well-balanced, yet unremarkable American Chardonnay with a bold oak and vanilla presence on the nose, matched by a sweet and fruity green apple and pear note. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with a golden hue. during it lacks a certain level of profoundness and complexity, it is a pleasant, easy-drinking Chardonnay.
