the cold and fog actually helped this chardonnay, which achieves a remarkable delicacy and tartness despite the power of its fruit. really remarkable for the flood of golden mango, asian pear and key lime pie richness, which is grounded by a firm minerality. oak influence and aging on the lees lend the perfect touches of smoky, buttered toast and zesty creaminess to this dry, polished wine. a mere 587 cases were produced.
