Description
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.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
The 2020 Chardonnay Upper Barn Vineyard has a lush perfume of ripe pineapple, apricot, and toasted spices. Full-bodied and well-balanced, it’s long and graceful on the palate within its large frame. Offering notes of marzipan, ripe melon, and lemon pastry, as well as a floral finish, it takes on a seamless nature in structure and balance and should have significant longevity over the next 8-10 years.
