One of the most sought-after sites in all of Sonoma County, Sun Chase Vineyard is planted on a west-facing slope in the Petaluma Gap overlooking a broad sweep of the county from the San Pablo Bay to North Santa Rosa. Our Chardonnay block sits on a sundrenched, rocky incline where fruit yields are naturally limited. Balanced vines produce small clusters and beautifully aromatic Chardonnay.

FOR THE 2016 VINTAGE:
The 2016 Chardonnay Sun Chase Vineyard reveals a beautiful lemon tart, key lime pie and orange blossom-laced nose with hints of honeyed toast, marzipan and ginger. Medium to full-bodied, it has a refreshing backbone cutting through the intense citrus and spicy layers, sporting a satiny texture and finishing on a lingering lemon zest note. 197 cases produced.
