Description
The Skycrest Vineyard Chardonnay, sitting at nearly 2,000' in elevation among the eastern slopes of the Anderson Valley, offers a complex mix of citrus, tropical and stone fruit. The unique blend of white peach, papaya, lemon tart and floral aromas transition seamlessly into a light and fresh palate of Cara Cara orange, almond and hints of ground ginger. The acidity is laser-focused and highlights the incredible texture and the delightfully long finish.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
Gorgeous lemon cream and honeyed florals, this site Sky Crest Vineyard, from 1500-2000ft; the Chardonnay was planted in 2011 here on this windy site. The aromatics are right and bright, with lemon pasty cream and mint leaves soaring from the glass. The palate shows savoury intensity with white pepper and a glaring saline note of crushed oyster shells framing lean, linear citrus fruits.
