Coming from cooler coastal sites, this is the third bottling of this blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It's bright and lively, with well-defined apricot, pear, apple, orange citrus and mineral. An underlying honey note, characterful traditional-method-born brioche, and mouth-watering acidity add complexity. Serious but approachable, this sophisticated sipper will also be a sure hit at a holiday meal with all the trimmings.
