2019 Chardonnay, Bee Sweet Vineyard

Shimmering, green-hued straw. Aromas of ripe, smoke-tinged tangerine, melon and pear are complemented by building vanilla, tarragon and buttered toast nuances. Deep but energetic on the palate, offering intense, mineral-accented citrus and orchard fruit flavors braced by a vein of juicy acidity. Shows excellent clarity and solid thrust on a long, smooth finish that echoes the vanilla and mineral notes. One-third new French oak.

2019 Chardonnay, Bee Sweet Vineyard

Stephen Ross Dooley is mastering this vineyard. This bottling begins with aromas of lychee, Meyer lemon pith, light coconut and honeysuckle. The palate's flavors are complex while cohesive, ranging from jicama and nectarine to sea salt and chamomile, with a flash of stone on the acid-washed finish.
