Description / Reviews
"Flowers’ organically farmed estate vineyards rise from 1,200 to 1,875 feet above sea level, set above the fog line and surrounded by dense evergreen forests. Here, cold ocean winds, intense high-elevation sunlight, and shallow rocky soils shape Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with structure, energy, and age-worthiness – with a site-driven signature that transcends category style. This Chardonnay is energetic and bright balancing mouthwatering acidity, fresh citrus, and an elegant, finely-woven texture with exceptional purity and precision. Meyer lemon and just-ripe mandarin orange mingle with pithy herbaceous notes and a fine mist of green citrus oil. On the palate, savory preserved lemon and a hint of spice component with the backbone of persistent acidity. Briny ocean spray minerality lifts the tightly-knot texture, which expands across the mouth for a vibrant finish." - Winemaker Notes
"Zesty lemon, lime, and green herb aromas mingle with citrus blossoms and cinnamon on the nose of this Chardonnay. The palate delivers a surge of vibrant acidity and pithy texture, with flavors of green apple, Meyer lemon, toasted hazelnut, and chopped lemon balm echoing for over a minute." - 95 Points, Tom R. Capo, WineEnthusiast.com
