VINEYARD NOTES
We're convinced that the world's best wines showcase the true essence of their origins. We grew the fruit for this Chardonnay in our Pinnacles Vineyard, on the east side of the Salinas Valley at the base of the Gabilan Mountains. Cooled by morning fog and far enough from the Monterey Bay to get a long, daily dose of sun, this west-facing vineyard planted at 300 feet in elevation has proven itself to be an ideal site for Burgundian varieties, including Chardonnay. Known for its checkerboard pattern of wind breaks and rare soil made up of sand and decomposed granite, Pinnacles is both our foundation vineyard and home to our state-of-the-art winery.
