"The 2019 Chardonnay Skycrest is a knockout. Bright, floral and energetic, the 2019 is wonderfully detailed and nuanced. Lemon confit, almond, sage, mint and dried flowers lend striking complexity. The 2019 is wonderfully vibrant and sculpted, with exceptional balance, the 2019 is an absolute winner."
Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points
"Subtle almond, dried apple and butter flavors fill up this medium-bodied, smooth-textured wine, giving it a mellow complexity along with good, juicy cider notes and balancing acidity. Aged 16 months in 30% new oak barrels."
Jeb Dunnuck, 91 Points
"Aged 15 months (as are the red wines) in 30% new French oak, the nose of the 2019 Chardonnay Skycrest Vineyard has some depth, with toasted brioche, green apple skin, and lemon curd. The palate is soft while maintaining a core of acidity and energy, and it is floral with fresh white flowers."
Winemaker Notes:
"Focused, fresh and bright. The 2018 Skycrest Vineyard Chardonnay offers a complex mix of citrus, tropical and stone fruit that can only be achieved from this elevation. The unique blend of white peach, papaya, lemon tart and floral aromas blend seamlessly into a light and fresh palate of Cara Cara Orange, almond and hints of ground ginger. The acidity is lazer focused throughout the wine and highlights the incredible texture and delightfully long finish."
Alcohol: 13.6%
