ELEVEN Chardonnay was grown in the Sonoma Coast where the cool climate fruit strikes a balance between opulence and elegance. Defined by its proximity to the Pacific coastline and a direct maritime influence, it is characterized by pastoral valleys, rolling hillsides, high rainfall, and adobe to silty sand soils.The growing season is long and natural acidity is abundant.
Fermentation and the ensuing eight months of cellaring took place in a combination of stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels. The barrel-fermented component included 20% new French oak and 15% second fill barrels. A further 40% of the blend was aged sur lie in neutral French oak to build richness and texture and to round out the lively acidity. The balance of the blend was aged in stainless steel tanks to retain bright fruit and a vibrant bouquet. Apple, pear, and melon fruit notes dominate with succulent preserved lemon and lime zest back notes complemented by honeycomb accents.

The 2017 Chardonnay Eleven opens with ripe white peach, baked red apple, lemon meringue and toasted almonds with leesy notes. Medium-bodied with ripe savory fruits and a honey-nut character in the mouth, it has a creamy-textured, flavorful finish. 1,500 cases produced.
