Fresh lemon balm aromas meet with hints of coconut and pineapple on the nose of this bottling from a historic vineyard, by a winemaker who's worked there for decades. The palate is zippy in acidity, driving through lychee, coconut flake and gardenia flavors. A fine-grained, chalky structure holds firm through the finish.

The 2021 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard is a model of precision and understatement. Lemon peel, crushed ricks, mint, apricot and a hint of new oak all grace this airy, refined Chardonnay. Pretty floral notes lift the clean, saline finish.
