使用したシャルドネは全てサンタ･マリア･ヴァレーAVAにある冷涼な気候のビエン･ナシード･ヴィンヤードから収穫されました｡葡萄果実を全房圧搾し静置･沈殿後､果汁をフレンチオークの新樽･旧樽で樽発酵しました(新樽率28%)｡4か月間､2週間に1度､澱を撹拌し､マロラクティック発酵を行い､10か月間の樽熟成を行いました｡優れた果実のアロマが､慎重にバランス良く調整された酸味と融合しています｡この魅力的でキレの良い白ワインでは､柑橘類の香りはもちろん､蜜､梨､オレンジの花の香りが際立っています｡生産者の愛情がこの産地の最高の品質をここに表現しました｡Wine Advocate 90点 、Jeb Dunnuck 90点、Vinous 90点

The truly distinctive flavors from the cool Northern and Western extremes of Santa Barbara County come together in this bottle. Here, our love of blending has resulted in a marriage of exceptional fruit aromas with carefully balanced acidity, capturing the best qualities of the area. Honeydew melon, Asian pear, orange blossom, as well as citrus notes, are highlighted in this appealingly crisp white wine.
Critical Acclaim
90 pts Wine Enthusiast
Light lemon, wet chalk and smoked white-peach aromas show on the nose of this county-wide bottling, which is all from Clone 4 grapes. It lands on the palate cleanly, with flavors of white peach, lemongrass and a touch of butterscotch toward the finish.
90 pts Wine Spectator
Juicy, featuring dried mint and sage accents to the taut melon, apple and pear tart flavors. Doughy notes show midpalate, with a finish that offers hints of buttery richness.
90 pts Jeb Dunnuck
The 2017 Chardonnay is a blend of Santa Barbara County fruit and spent 10 months in 28% new French oak. It has a ripe, toasty bouquet of white peach, pineapple, spice, and honeysuckle. It's clean, fleshy, nicely balanced, and impeccably made as well as a good value.
90 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2017 Chardonnay has a toasty nose with warm apple, white peach, Bosc pear and stony notes. Medium-bodied, it offers good intensity of buttery/nutty fruits in the mouth with juicy acidity and a long finish.
