Tasting notes
Matured entirely in new oak for 10 months, the 2019 Chardonnay Gravel Bench Vineyard opens with youthful cedar and matchstick that gives way to deeper tones of apricot, chamomile and honey. The medium-bodied palate balances expansive, highly concentrated fruit with lively acidity, and it has a long, gently textural finish. 303 cases were made.

The 2019 Chardonnay Gravel Bench Vineyard is one of the most complex wines in this range. It offers up a whole range of savory and mineral nuances that lend notable complexities throughout. Crushed rocks, graphite, sage, mint, lemon peel and dried flowers all run through this wonderfully polished, vibrant Chardonnay.
Chamomile, mulled lemons, sappy herbs, and toast are just some of the nuances in the 2019 Chardonnay Gravel Bench Vineyard, a rich, textured, yet concentrated, chalky Chardonnay that stays nicely compact and focused on the palate. It has solid structure and will keep for 7-8 years.
