2019 Chardonnay Lucky Well Vineyard

In 2019, heavy rains in May resulted in lighter-than-normal yields, but much as we expected, the vintage illustrates the richness and concentration that typically accompany a smaller crop. This wine exhibits the lasting structure of great Chablis with a nod to California. The low-yielding Hudson clone drives pure, focused flavors with a distinctive minerality that is even more pronounced in this standout vintage for Chardonnay.
