| This classic Napa Valley Chardonnay is sourced from cool growing sites in Coombsville in Napa Valley's southeastern corner. Here, temperatures are moderated by fogs that roll in from the San Pablo Bay, and on average can be as much as ten degrees cooler than surrounding areas. This allows for a long, slow growing season that permits the grapes to achieve full ripeness. This wine is always complex and rich, with lifted aromatics, ripe melon, citrus and tropical fruit notes and a delicate oak influence. |
