This wine shows a golden straw color. The nose shows great aromatic complexity, combining quince and stone fruit, with a suggestion of whipped fig and pineapple compote coupled with a flinty note of struck stone.  Rich in taste, the palate has pear and almond and lemon curd, underlain by a strict line of refreshing acidity. This elegant wine has great length and a beguiling complexity.  

The 2010 Vintage was preceded by a winter of abundant rains.  The growing season, however, was warm and dry, resulting in excellent fruit set.  Hot summer days coupled with cooler nights worked magic on the Chardonnay, which was harvested at the end of February.  Our 2010 exhibits exquisite balance, flavor and concentration.  The hot weather moderated during March and April, leading to perfect ripening conditions for red varieties, characterized by excellent deep color, superb fresh flavor, well-balanced acids and silkily mature tannins in our Cabernet Sauvignon.
