Canary yellow and crystalline in the glass, this 2023 Chardonnay carries both brightness and viscosity. Sourced from Joyce Vineyard, perched in the cool coastal reaches of the West Sonoma Coast, the wine channels the site’s ocean influence and mineral-driven soils. Aromas of sea breeze, pink lady apple, and wild herbs rise with clarity. The palate is finely focused, delivering Meyer lemon curd and a subtle reduction that marries seamlessly with salinity and oceanic minerality. Precision, tension, and site-specific acidity define this wine, offering a brilliant example of Chardonnay shaped by the Pacific’s proximity.
