Melville chardonnay continues to blur the line between what a “California Chardonnay” is or is not. Aromatics of clementines and underripe pineapple are followed by a kiss of Pacific Ocean breeze. A harmonious tug-of-war between texture and tension creates a wonderfully balanced wine with mouthwatering notes of pineapple core, Japanese pear, and orange blossoms. The laser-focused acidity and touch of ocean minerals really bring this wine together, creating a long and refreshing finish. Overall, this is an elegant and nuanced chardonnay that showcases the purity of the fruit, restraint, and the unique terroir of Sta. Rita Hills AVA. Enjoy with grilled shrimp or fish and chips!

The 2022 Chardonnay Estate has gregarious aromas of baked apples, almonds, dried hay, bread dough and candle wax. The medium-bodied palate is plush and rounded with an understated core of honeyed fruit, vibrant acidity and a long, fragrant finish. 1,610 cases produced.
