On the Nose:Â Playful notes of candied apple rings and banana custard, with elegant aromatics of lemon verbena, daffodil and a wet stone minerality.
On the Palate: Notes of lemon drops, Fuji apple, and kiwi flood the palate, offering a silky entrance that builds the mid-palate while the acidity creates a long finish.

Barrel Selection:
Tolosa Chardonnay No Oak, stainless steel tanks, sur lie aged
-
Growing Notes:
The cool consistent marine layer hovers over the vines, and a sea breeze chills the air to create a climate where Chardonnay thrives. The days are balanced with just enough sunshine to offer luscious fruit characteristics and bright citrus flavors. The exposure to the coastal influence produces Chardonnay grapes that hang on the vine longer, allowing the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness while maintaining their natural acidity and expressive aromatics. The cool climate prompts the conditions to produce a wine with a lower alcohol and refined character.
-
Winemaking Notes:
The wine is fermented in stainless tanks at a very low temperature to let the true nature of the varietal shine. It is also aged in stainless steel tanks, on the lees to add complexity to the mouthfeel by offering a denser mid-palate. The attack of acidity, enticing fruit characteristics and elegant minerality will lure you into wanting more!

Story Behind the Winery:
Cowboy dreams of owning a cattle ranch brought Robin Baggett to Edna Valley on the San Luis Obispo Coast. The cold Pacific wind and soils from ancient seabed to limestone made him realize he was on a frontier of a different sort: a microclimate ideal for ripening sensitive Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.
Robin began planting his home ranch in 1988.  In Edna Valley, much as the soil and the climate come together, the passions of vintner Robin Baggett have converged. The revelation of the valley as a remarkable place for Pinot Noir ignited his zeal to build complex, nuanced and balanced wines of distinction. Over time, his quest has expanded to find other special pockets of terroir throughout California that offer an exceptional environment for these delicate grapes.
