Description
This Chardonnay is delicate on the nose, with aromas of pear, vanilla flower and hazelnut. The mouthfeel is rich with flavor of lemon on the entry, which then evolves into more complex and creamy flavors of butterscotch and nutmeg. The finish is vibrant and persistent.

Vineyard
The grapes sourced for this wine come from Forest Lake Vineyard. This vineyard is certified sustainable following the Lodi Rules and it’s located a few miles northeast of Oak Farm Property. It has a vertical shoot position trellis system and minimal leaves were pulled to allow air throughout the vineyard and vines, but does not sunburn the berries. This vineyard is warm during the day to help develop and ripen the berries, but cools down at night which helps maintain balance and preserve acidity.
