Santa Cruz Mountains Trout Gulch Chardonnay

This nine-barrel blend comes from a vineyard planted in 1977 at an elevation of 600 feet. It boasts an intensely aromatic profile with pineapple, pear, and lemon aromas, accompanied by hints of spice, nuts, and mandarin. The palate is vibrant, lively, and tangy, featuring concentrated flavors of lemon and orange peel, complemented by a touch of hazelnut and sweet, spicy accents. The finish reveals sweet baked lemon notes, with a subtle musqué-like grapey character adding intrigue. AVB 13%
