Tasting notes
From a vineyard in the Fort Ross-Seaview area—on the second ridge inland from the ocean, at about 1300-1400 feet above sea level, the 2020 Chardonnay Ma Douce was barrel fermented using indigenous yeasts in about 25% new French oak. Scents of pastry crust accent nectarine and citrus fruit on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is bright, vibrant and crisp, with a lingering finish.

The 2020 Chardonnay Ma Douce is rich, creamy and super-expressive. Apricot, white flowers, marzipan, mint and a kiss of French oak all grace this wonderfully expressive Chardonnay. This is very nicely done.
Lots of white peach, quince, white flower, and green almond notes emerge from the 2020 Chardonnay Ma Douce, a full-bodied barrel sample with beautiful depth as well as freshness.
