A bouquet of honey blossom and caramel apple offers a tantalizing preview of its rich palate. The fruit and floral nuances open into deeper layers of butterscotch and apples that glide across the palate. Hints of citrus and oak undertones highlight the wine’s lingering finish.

Production notes
The vintage was marked by abundant rains that nourished the soils before a cooler spring and summer created a long growing season. The grapes matured at a slow and steady pace, until many varietals ripened simultaneously, prompting a compressed harvest that kicked off on September 13th, the latest start we’ve seen since 2011. One of the finest vintages in years, 2023 yielded superb fruit with great f lavors along with concentrated and balanced acids at lower sugar levels.

Just north of the Arroyo Mocho Creek, our Big Rock Creek Vineyard boasts two blocks with an east-west orientation. At this site, the vines are VSP trellised (Vertical Shoot Position) to ensure uniform sun exposure, promoting even ripening. The vineyard derives its name from the substantial rocks deposited by this ancient tributary. The terroir in this area is distinctive, featuring elevated water-retaining gravel and clay soil, making it particularly well-suited for cultivating Chardonnay.
