Brilliant aromas of tropical fruit, minerals, apples, pineapple and lemon blossoms, then ripe but light and fresh fruit, lemon curd, lime zest, coconut and pastry flavors on a creamy, ethereal texture. A hint of green in the color signals less than overt ripeness. Drink now or hold.

Jeb Dunnuck
Coming from Sonoma Mountain with notably higher pH and highly varied soils, the 2024 Chardonnay Richard Dinner Vineyard pours a medium yellow hue and combines richness with terrific freshness. After 35 years working with this vineyard, the team clearly understands it intimately. Rhyolitic clay over tuff soils contributes gorgeous waxy texture alongside almond, ripe apples, lemon oils, and crystalline purity. Drink 2026-2040.

Wine Spectator
A stunning white, offering a complex mix of aromatics and flavors, plus sleek acidity. Orange blossom, lemon leaf and lemon thyme aromas mix with pear, Meyer lemon and ripe melon notes; hints of litsea oil, crunchy sea salt and green cardamom linger on the long, impressive finish, where a touch of vanilla cream comes in. Drink now through 2038. 250 cases made.
