We could not be happier with our inaugural vintage of Chardonnay from the Reuling Vineyard, located just off Highway 116 between Graton and Forestville. The highly regarded Montrachet clone of Chardonnay takes center stage here, and when combined with the exceptional growing conditions of 2016, the finished wine demonstrates balanced acidity and rich flavors of stone fruit and baked lemon.

"Moderate golden yellow color in the glass. Rather austere nose initially, opening in the glass over time to offer aromas of lemon rind, fresh peach and. Rich and creamy on the palate with delicious flavors of golden apple, lemon, pear, honey and nut oil. This wine is eager to send a message of pleasure and easily seduces the senses. Dreamy balance makes for effortless drinking. The quenching finish is lively and spirited. Even better when tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle with more nuances emerging." - Rusty Gaffney, PinotFile

"Fleshy and gently oaked, this vineyard-designate is a a standout for its mix of well-defined flavors of lemon, green apple and stone. Its substantial upfront richness and ripeness settles in the glass to offer balance and succulent memorability." - Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast
