From the cool-climate vineyards of Santa Rita Hills, this elegant Chardonnay opens with bright aromas of lemon blossom, fresh pear, and ripe apple. On the palate, layers of citrus and stone fruit are complemented by subtle notes of vanilla bean and toasted almond. The region's characteristic minerality shines through, while balanced acidity carries through to a clean, refreshing finish.

The wine's coastal influence is evident in its precise, focused character - a hallmark of Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay. Medium-bodied with just the right touch of oak integration, this wine perfectly captures both the terroir of this special growing region and Babcock's thoughtful winemaking approach.
