The Story

Our Cold Creek Chardonnay is grown in the slightly cooler microclimate of the
Sonoma side of Los Carneros district to the west. Thick fog and cool marine
winds protect its tender skins. Indigenous to the Burgundy region of France,
Clones 15 and 95 at a 50:50 ratio exhibit an approachable style and luminous
golden color
