Impressive in salty pineapple and an underlying richness of crème brûlée, this wine remains balanced within its luxurious layers, with persistent freshness throughout. Unfiltered, it offers structure, graceful elegance and length, while being cohesive on the finish.

Juicy and filled with rich spiciness to the ripe apple, pear and dried apricot flavors, showing buttery and toasty notes on the finish. Drink now through 2024. 1,350 cases made.

The 2019 Chardonnay Estate is delicate, precise and understated. Orchard fruit, lemon confit, spice and ginger are all laced together. The 2019 shows a distinct move towards a fresher, leaner style away from the richer bottlings of the past here, in other words a more coastal style than perhaps the more exuberant approach favored by Tom Dehlinger back in the day.
