This irresistible Chardonnay is deeply flavored and beautifully balanced, with a central core highlighted by stone fruits and lime peel. Fermented in small stainless steel tanks, there are no oaky flavors here to distract from the wine’s zesty aromas and tangy taste. The fruit comes from vines planted 20 years ago in Santa Barbara’s Los Alamos region.
