RECENT TASTING NOTES
The 2018 Chardonnay Cougar Ridge Vineyard is marked by strong floral accents and pretty white orchard fruit. Beautifully lifted and perfumed, the 2018 is a model of grace. It is such a distinctive wine with plenty of cooler-climate inflections to match its understated personality.
