"The 2021 Tunnel Vineyard Chardonnay, from a site in the Santa Maria Valley, is a racy, exuberant wine. Apricot, tropical overtones, yellow flowers and buttery notes fill out the layers." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"This is a beautifully intricate Chardonnay,  with orchard fruits and enticing layers of lemon curd and crushed oyster shells. On the palate, the flavors are framed by a backbone of cool-climate acidity. While it has both nerve and energy, there is also a mid-pallet creaminess to this wine, that offers a lovely counterpoint, while helping to draw the flavors to a lingering finish."
