Winemakers Notes
Winemaker: Matt Check, Head Winemaker
Winemaker's Notes: Chardonnay was an early love for me and must for our Cellar Beast winemaking program. In my opinion this is one of the hardest wine to get perfect and every year is a pursuit of capturing the perfect balance to allow Chardonnay to showcase it full complexity without any one element overpowering the others. Our Chardonnay is balancing act of keeping the fruit characteristics alive while building a creamy full palate and just a kiss of new oak, again all these elements working in perfect harmony.

Special Notes About Region and Varietal
This beautiful, full-bodied wine is a defined Chardonnay resembling an elegant French style. This wine is unfiltered as to not lose any lush aromas or taste. The winemakers have added barrel character with the best white oak sourced from the premier forests in France with a softer touch of new oak in contrast to the Napa Valley style.
