This dry Chardonnay is a rich golden yellow in the glass with aromas of ripe yellow stone fruit and contalupe with an interesting toasty, baked bread complexity. The flavors are very consistent with the aromas and are framed with a soft, fleshy, highly-extracted texture and balanced acidity with a warm, ingering finish that hints of sweetness.

2022 was a strange vintage featuring almost every kind of weather pattern. After another dry winter, spring saw a normal budbreak with quite varable weather patterns. A severe April frost reduced crop levels, particularly in Lodi, sometimes as much as 50%. The lighter crop enjoyed a relatively mild and consistent growing season until a triple digit heat wave hit during the Labor Day weekend and forced many growers to pick faster than predicted. Fortunately, we harvested the grapes for rose before this heat wave and quality was very high.
The Chardonnay grapes were pressed in bladder presses and the juice settled overnight at 55 deg. Low solids juice was racked away from the heavy lees and fermented in stainless steel at cool 65 deg temperature until dry. No malolactic fermentation to retain natural acidity. The new wine was racked away from yeast lees and simply filtered bright prior to bottling.
