VINEYARDS
We believe great wines are made in the vineyard and are committed to farming sustain ably and naturally to preserve these properties for the long term. We are certified Napa Green at our Rutherford winery and vineyard. In 2019 all six of our estate vineyards were certified Fish Friendly Farming, as part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability.
VINTAGE
In 2022 as growers faced triple digit heat over five days in September quickly followed by rain that brought harvest to a sudden halt. Winemakers are calling the vintage “the tale of two harvests,” making it one of the more unique vintages in recent history. The typical gap between the white and red wine harvest was almost nonexistent. Winemakers describe 2022 white wines as having perfect acidity and freshness with remarkable flavors and textures.
TASTING
Our 2022 Legacy Collection Chardonnay is an exquisite expression of cool climate terroir that captivates the senses. It opens with hints of minerality, entwining seamlessly with vibrant notes of lemon grass, and stone fruit creating a mouthfeel that is simultaneously crisp and delicate. Sliced apples and white peaches mingle harmoniously with hints of pastry crust, delivering a full-bodied experience that boasts a soft, creamy texture juxtaposed with a delightful pop of acidity. Drink now for an unparalleled tasting experience that harmonizes freshness, richness, and a touch of flinty allure.
