The final wine is rich and lively, balanced & bright, this benchmark bottle shows just how refined California Chardonnay can be. 

"The 2016 Chardonnay Presqu'ile Vineyard is bright, focused and very nicely articulated. Citrus, almond, floral and saline notes add to a feel of precision and tension. The 15% new oak shapes the wine's texture and flavor profile, but is very well judged." Vinous 92
