This Chardonnay opens with rich notes of vanilla bean and almond husk, reminiscent of a decadent crème brûlée. The creamy notes are balanced by a soft minerality and a hint of tropical fruit. Those creamy notes continue to your palate where they are joined with bright acidity and well-integrated oak that leads into a long, creamy finish. ~Winery NotesWinery Notes: The refined elegance of Bread & Butter wines showcase the celebrated and diverse terroirs of our prized California vineyards.
