2020 Seashell Chardonnay

VINEYARD

The Seashell vineyard, planted in 2004, is located on the north-eastern portion of the ranch at the base of a 600-foot vertical wall of the Carneros escarpment, protecting the vines from the harsh western afternoon sun. The vineyard is named for its deep, dry-farmed sandy loam soil with inclusions of Neroly Sandstone containing Scallop Seashell Fossils.  The wine is characteristically rich while maintaining a bright saline structured acidity.
