2023 Russian River Valley Chardonnay
In 2023, each of the single vineyard components contributed something vital to the blend: crystalline acidity, layered citrus, coastal salinity, and floral lift. Made with a lighter hand on new oak and built for early enjoyment, this bottling captures the freshness and finesse of a cooler, more traditional vintage — precise, lifted, and eminently drinkable.

2023 Banfield Vineyard Chardonnay
Focused and opulent in equal measure, this wine opens with soaring aromatics of Meyer lemon, brûléed sugar, orange blossom, and chamomile. On the palate, layers of preserved citrus, lime zest, and baked apple unfold over a spine of piercing acidity. Hints of honeysuckle, spice cake, and salted caramel echo long into the finish.

2023 Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay
Aromas of white peach, preserved lemon, and spring blossoms lead into a palate layered with green apple, lime oil, and stone fruit. As it unfolds in the glass, deeper notes of chamomile, baked citrus, and a wisp of salted caramel emerge — a nod to the site’s signature richness, kept perfectly in check by the vintage’s structure.

2023 El Diablo Vineyard Chardonnay
The nose opens with cool-toned aromas of Asian pear, crushed limestone, and lime leaf, layered with hints of grilled pineapple and sweet cream. The palate is electric yet composed, with bright acidity guiding flavors of green mango, yuzu, and marzipan. A gentle creaminess with subtle notes of baked citrus and warm spice glide into a long, mineral-driven finish.

2023 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
A vibrant reflection of the mild 2023 vintage, with crisp red fruit, high-toned botanical notes, and a glowing ruby-red color. Framed by just 20% new French oak, the wine retains its bright and approachable character, offering complexity without compromising drinkability.

2023 U.V. Lucky Well Vineyard Pinot Noir
The 2023 UV Lucky Well is beautiful, with a jewel-like ruby color and effusive scents of fresh alpine strawberry, cola, dried flowers, hard candy, and turned earth. Flavors of tart raspberry, Damson plum, and pomegranate unfold and linger on the palate.
