Chardonnay Duo

2021 Chardonnay, Kite Tail
Delivering the distinctively bright acidity, well-rounded structure and gorgeous fruit intensity that are the signature gifts of our region’s marine fog and Bay breezes, our Kite Tail Chardonnay pays homage to the cool climate of Los Carneros. Composed from our estate’s heritage Old Wente vines, prized for their low yields and lively, concentrated fruit, this beautifully focused wine displays juicy notes of green apple, white peach, and grapefruit. A palate of shimmering acidity carries through the sip, with an elegant touch of minerality gracing a sustained finish.

2021 Chardonnay, Coeurtina
Grown in a vein of alluvial, Cortina soil that runs through the heart of our estate, this wine expresses the intensity and verve of its marquee site. Opening with a vividly floral nose of acacia and orange blossom, this wine expands on the palate with layers of fresh stone fruit, succulent apricot and white peach that combine around a lively hint of spicy persimmon. The deliciously balanced texture of this wine is mouth-filling, round and sumptuous. A final note of citrus lingers on the finish.
