Tasting notes
The 2015 Chardonnay Nancie emerges from a number of sites in Sonoma County. The flavors are intense and creamy, and yet the wine remains medium in body. Here, too, the wine delivers considerable fruit intensity and richness, but without excess weight. Hints of butter, orange peel, mint and flowers shape the inviting finish.

The 2015 Chardonnay Nancie was aged in French barrels for 11 months, 20% new, and did not go through malolactic. It opens with a nose of ripe nectarines, pineapples and guava with underlying notes of butterscotch, cedar and brioche. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly fruited with plenty of vivacity, delivering intense tropical and stone fruit flavors plus a satiny texture and long finish, with a little cedar poking through.
