The complex and sophisticated mouthfeel of this Chardonnay is built through a combination of French and American oak, stainless steel tanks, and sur lie aging. Each technique offers the final blend of something special; from the hint of vanilla bean and buttercream from the oak barrels to the crisp stone fruit varietal characteristics highlighted in the stainless steel to the round, luxurious mouthfeel resulting from sur lie aging.

Fog and intense wind are prevalent most of the year along the Sonoma Coast. Vineyards at even moderate elevation battle to capture every drop of sunlight in the hopes of bringing Burgundian varieties like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to full ripening. The result of this inhospitable climate is grapes with lower sugar but higher acid levels which create sought-after structure and a crisp, refreshing backbone that pairs well with a variety of cuisines.

Well-balanced between fresh fruits and light oak spices, this medium-bodied wine is not nearly as aggressive as its label image of a shark suggests. Moderate acidity bolsters fresh golden apple and Bartlett pear flavors, with delicate buttery accents. It will be especially versatile with food.

Toasty and spicy, with vanilla bean and cream soda flavors that dominate the core of ripe melon and peach notes. A touch of lemon meringue pie lingers on the finish. Drink now. 28,000 cases made.
