Tasting Notes

From a north-facing slope, the 2016 Block 6 Chardonnay delivers classic Chardonnay aromas of white peaches and gently toasted hazelnuts. It's medium-bodied, with a plump, succulent mouthfeel and a crisp backbone of citrusy acids. Complex shades of baking spices accent the nearly endless lemony finish. A modern-day classic. Drink 2018 - 2025.

An elevated spot in the Felton Road vineyard. A cool lime and grapefruit nose with hints of guava. Very fruit-focused style. The palate delivers plenty of succulent ripe lime and pineapple fruit flavor as well as a little honey. A nicely cut finish. Drink now. Screw cap.
