2020 Chardonnay, Ram's Gate Estate

Driven by the Wente selection, the wine has an aromatic bouquet of wildflowers, honey, and summer melon.  Extra time in barrel has provided a beautiful old-world charm of noble reduction, a quality we love in Chardonnay.  On the palate, the concentration of the vintage is felt at its core—a benefit from a long growing season.  The wine has driving acidity and distinct minerality in the finish.

Possessing terrific energy, it will be a wine that continues to develop and evolve for many years to come.
