This wine is sourced from just below the peak of Bald Mountain, one of the highest points between Napa and Sonoma. A dry-farmed selection of California heritage clones and the winemaking duo of Mai Errazuriz and Rodrigo Soto. It shows the compelling nature of mountain terroir in Chardonnay. Aromatics of roasted chamomile, ripe pears, and a nuanced note of lanolin and beeswax introduce a subtlety to this wine. The palate offers a beguiling complexity, ripe pomme fruits, bruised apples, and salty sea air minerality, giving it a depth and sauvage edge along with its Meyer lemon and lemon verbena concentration.
