WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS
Katherine’s Vineyard Chardonnay is an ocean influenced, single vineyard expression of " refrigerated sunshine” in a glass – layered, elegant, distinct.

AROMA
Fresh fruit and floral aromas dominate the nose and palate; white peach, lemon zest, pear, granny smith apple and citrus blossoms.

PALATE
The oak influence creates a nice mid-palate that balances nicely with the bright acidity that lingers.

REGION NOTES
Katherine’s Vineyard, named for Katie Jackson in 1986, consists of ancient soils with fossilized seashells, shale, limestone and sand, with fog swept vines that have endured since the 1970s.

GRAPES/BLEND
100% Chardonnay.

VINIFICATION
70% barrel fermented; 30% stainless steel fermented, 70% Malolactic fermentation. Aged sur lie for 7 months in 20% new French oak.
