An excellent value to be found in this estate grown, Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay. The site lies just thirteen miles from Carmel Bay, along the northern edge of the valley—planted in 1982, in Corton-Charlemagne Chardonnay clone vines, it’s a wine that delivers subtle, layered flavors of smokey baked yellow apples, figs, and lemon torte strike a precise balance between ripeness and lifted acidity. The core is deliciously creamy, a sensation that gradually subsides to a minerally finish. 14.5% ABV | Sample
