Very light straw in color with a hint of electric lime green. The wine expresses white nectarine pits and flesh, fresh cut alfalfa and baby powder. Palate is golden apple flesh and green apple skin upfront and transitions to mid palate lychee, and finishes with shortbread cookie. As the wine opens you start to smell a very faint saffron quality on the nose that sits alongside the previous notes. - Caileen

Pale straw with silver highlights, this aromatic wine leaps out of the glass with intense yet delicate notes of candied lime zest combined with orange blossom, fresh apricot, crushed granite, and a faint hint of petrol. Off-dry on the palate, flavors of yellow peach and fresh nectarine along with ripe green apple and chalky minerality highlight the balanced acidity and slight hint of sweetness.

This Chablis-style chardonnay is crisp and bright with aromas of tart green apple, fresh pear and preserved lemon, along with flavors of white peach and Meyer lemon. It is perfect with grilled chicken and vegetables, seafood, savory quiche, and fresh baked bread and butter.

Luscious and complex, this wine gives off aromas of buttery baked yellow apple, tropical pineapple and fresh peach, with flavors of vanilla custard, baked pears with clove and nutmeg, and juicy yellow peach on the palate. Pairs with Dungeness crab and poached lobster tail, pan-seared scallops with a citrus glaze, and elegant cheese boards.
