Chardonnay

A powerful and complex wine displaying notes of gunsmoke, white peach, and nectarine, with hints of lemon and lime. The palate shows roasted almond and brioche notes with an underlying grapefruit citrus note giving the wine length and vibrancy. Mineral. Linear, lengthy, fine acidity carries the wine and gives it great ageability.

Tasting Notes

Pinot Noir

A dense and complex Pinot Noir displaying notes of plum red cherry and violets. The palate is concentrated with layers of black cherry, dried herbs and cocoa. Silky yet firm tannin gives the wine length and poise. Forest floor aromas, integrated oak giving subtle vanilla and mocha notes. Silky tannins give structure and power.
