Reviews

The nose bursts with fruit – kiwi, key lime, and grapefruit and has a wonderful sea spray quality. On the palate this wine is textural, with racy acidity that rounds out on the finish like a bite of key lime pie; it starts with tart fruit and finishes with a soft creaminess. Every year we find that Chardonnay from Zotovich Vineyard is the most Chablis-like bottling we produce.

"There's a hint of toasty oak on the nose of this bottling alongside the crisp stone-fruit and white-flower aromas. The palate sizzles with a zesty acidity, offering tightly woven Key lime pie and lychee flavors."
