Tasting Notes
Release Date: Spring 2023
2020 is our 35th consecutive vintage from the Wolff Vineyard which is probably a record for a single vineyard bottling in Edna Valley.
The beauty of this valley is its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the coolness that results slows the ripening at the end of summer. Hence, the grapes develop incredible flavors at low sugar. Harvests have historically been in October, the last major Chardonnay region to be harvested in California.
Nuances of baking bread, sage, and gardenia blossom in the aromas with full flavors of citrus, pear, almond and a lush round finish.
Barrel-fermented and aged on the lees for nine months, this wine is an incredible value and a favorite.
