The 2018 Chardonnay Estate comes barreling out of the glass with ripe pears, apricots and honeydew melon scents, followed by nuances of lemon butter and crushed almonds. The medium-bodied palate reveals a spicy hint of oak, complementing the juicy stone fruit and melon-inspired flavors, finishing long and creamy.

All from estate fruit in Carneros, the 2018 Chardonnay Estate is a juicy, almost racy effort that has pretty notes of honeyed citrus and pineapple as well as medium-bodied richness, good acidity, and a balanced style on the palate. It's a solid, balanced, well-made Chardonnay.
