Product notes
Another dry winter followed by late spring rains enabled vines to produce a healthy crop of fruit. A warm summer started this harvest early, kicking off in the last week of January. With crops slightly lighter than average and no disease, quality is above average.

Easy drinking medium bodied wine with plenty of depth. Fresh grassy Semillon and stone fruited Chardonnay are completed by French & American oak for a beautifully luscious balanced wine.
