The 2019 Chardonnay Jennifer’s Vineyard, from Wente selection vines planted in 2005, was barrel fermented and matured in 30% new French oak for 13 months. The nose offers delicate, classy dark spices with a core of white peaches and touches of roasted almonds and honey. The medium-bodied palate is dynamic, beginning with broad honeyed flavors before its tangy acidity brings all that ripe fruit into focus on the very long, stony finish. 255 cases were made.

Lemony in rock candy and salty stone, this is a lively, fresh and full-bodied white from an estate vineyard. It is also flinty and fleshy, with complex layers of texture. Fresh hints of tangerine and grapefruit contribute a lively brightness that persists through a long, beautiful finish.
