2007 Sauvignon Blanc $8.00/bottle
Arroyo Seco Vineyard 622 cases bottled 8/07
All Musque clone harvested by hand on September 12 & 18, 2007. This was the 1st fruit to come to our winery. The grapes were carefully pressed in small batches & then 50% of the juice was fermented in stainless steel & the remainder fermented in old French oak barrels. As a result of this handling, it is characterized by floral, tropical & grapefruit aromas with a rich mouthfeel while maintaining a crisp, food friendly acidity.

2010 Chalone Pinot Blanc $18.00/bottle
Antle Vineyard Chalone Appellation 184 cases bottled 4/11
This vineyard originally planted in 1989 is a pleasure to behold; sitting in a protected southwest facing dell overlooking the Salinas Valley. Hand harvested on 9/20/10, light and fruity with notes of pear and apple; slightly smoky with a crisp acidity, minerality and long finish. Enjoy on its own or with crab cakes, seafood bisque, chicken cordon bleu or a spring vegetable stew.

2008 Chula Viña Chardonnay $33.00/bottle
Chula Viña Vineyard Monterey County 318 cases bottled 8/09
This 2008 vintage was one of the very best in recent memory in California. Aged in barrel, 9 months: produced & bottled without fining or filtration keeping the wine in its natural state & allowing the fruit flavors to shine through. This wine is a pure varietal expression of Chardonnay with flavors of ripe apple, lemon, melon & a distinct minerality. The firm acidity of this Chardonnay creates a structure that gives it a refreshing profile that pairs well with a variety of foods including seafood, chicken, or hors d’ oeuvres.

2008 Coast View Chardonnay $33.00/bottle
Coast View Vineyard Monterey County 327 cases bottled 8/09
Coast View vineyard is located in a remote area on top of the Gavilan Mts at a dramatic elevation of 2400 ft. Planted in decomposed granity, organically grown. 2008 vintage was one of the very best in recent memory in California. Flavors of apple cider & poached pear with distinct notes of toasted oak & nutmeg. This wine pares well seafood & poultry but is enjoyable on its own.

2010 Tondre Grapefield Chardonnay $36.00/bottle Wine Club Member Exclusive
Tondre Grapefield Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Appellation
Our first ever Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay. These grapes were hand-picked and then pressed them whole-cluster, settled the juice for a short time and then racked it off of the lees into French Oak barrels. It fermented in barrel and was aged sur lies. This is our most opulent, complex California-style Chardonnay yet but still retains balanced acidity and offers aromas and flavors of toasty oak, vanilla, butterscotch, melon and sports a lengthy finish.
