A bright and balanced wine with vibrant aromatics of baked apple, white nectarine, and toasted oak. A lively entry of tropical fruit and citrus expands with notes of rich lemon curd and brioche bread pudding. Ample yet refined, this unmistakably Carneros wine finishes with a refreshing wave of acidity.

2023 Data Sheet

The Estate

The foundation for the Carneros Chardonnay is Frank Family’s Lewis Vineyard with additions of neighboring Beckstoffer Vineyards in NapaCarneros and Sangiacomo Vineyards located in Sonoma-Carneros.

Wine Making

As with all my wines, I am looking for texture and complexity. To achieve this, I practice a long cold fermentation and then put the wine through partial malolactic fermentation to soften the overall high acidity. While aging, I employ batonage (hand-stirring the lees) regularly to promote depth and longevity in the wine

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with roasted poultry, salmon, rich creamy cheeses, and dishes with lemon-based sauces.
