Winemakers Notes
One of the most historically important Chardonnay vineyards in California, the Upper Barn Chardonnay expresses both power and grace. Situated at 1,800′ in elevation, this site combines richness of fruit due to its exposure to sunshine, as well as power and tension from cool ocean breezes and its varied, rocky soils. Round, mouthwatering flavors of yellow nectarine, Meyer lemon, orange blossom and savory herbs.

This is a big, powerful Chardonnay that impresses for sheer volume. Crisp acidity provides a keen balance to the ripe pineapple, white peach custard, sweet green apple purée, buttered toast and vanilla flavors that finish with a smoky swirl of dusty spices. (01/2008)
