2018 Bow Tie Vineyard Chardonnay
Our Bow Tie Vineyard Chardonnay is a classic expression of the aromatic and exotic Z clone, a descendant of Muscat. This clone gives our Bow Tie Chardonnay its signature generous aromas of jasmine, honeysuckle and fresh-cut lemon. The wine offers beautiful complexity, with a plush, creamy texture that’s balanced by crisp acidity and a touch of limestone-like minerality. Hints of tangerine, fresh-baked apple pie and tree fruit on the palate blend with richer notes of toasted almond, butter cookies and a subtle kiss of caramel. Silky smooth, this wine lingers long after the sip.

A small-production wine with enviable length and breadth, this offers a juicy midpalate of Gravenstein apple and tropical fruit. Accents of nutmeg, toast and stone provide complex, savory and earthy components that keep it lively and interesting.
