This year marks our 38th vintage from organically farmed ZinStar vineyard, planted in 1933. It also marks our largest production from this vineyard to date due to an exceptional growing season and the end of the two year drought in California!
This Chardonnay continues our tradition of bringing together bright, crisp acidity with a well balanced finish. Enjoy it today or let it age in your cellar for a few years! Our Chardonnay can age beautifully for up to 15 years.
Following a unique wine style that David Lucas learned while Heather was consulting in Northern Italy, this "straw wine" is crafted by hand harvesting Zinfandel grape clusters and laying them out to bask in the warm fall sunlight which slowly increases their sugar content.
We are honored to share this Reserve vintage with you as we recognize our historic and Certified Organic ZinStar Vineyard and all that she has given to our family.
