Pale in color. Driven by aromas of crushed oyster shell, lemon verbena, and nectarines. Mineral expression carries through on the palate that bursts with flint and citrus oils. A vibrant and refreshing acidity integrates beautifully with the structured richness of oak, brioche, and stone fruit flavors to create a lasting succulent finish.

"This is a clean, racy chardonnay offering delicate aromas of fresh stone fruit, lemon rind and orange blossoms with subtle hints of almonds and spices. Complex and vivid on the palate, with a medium body and zippy, mouthwatering acidity. It lingers with nuances of seashells, umami and a touch of salinity."
