WINEMAKING

Our Chardonnay sanctuary is the cool, crisp microclimate of Sonoma’s Russian River Valley, where the great Charles Heintz and Dutton Ranch vineyards contributed the eld-selected grapes to make this classic small lot Chardonnay. The maritime in uence in the Russian River Valley creates a natural air conditioning that extends the growing season — often 15 to 20 percent longer than neighboring areas — allowing Chardonnay grapes to develop concentrated aromas and avors while maintaining a balanced acidity.
