Vineyard Notes
The 2022 Perspective Chardonnay is sourced from our Chardonnay Estate Vineyards in Napa Valley, where a season of contrasting weather conditions ultimately led to beautifully expressive fruit. Early heat spikes and tropical showers were followed by a cooling period that allowed the grapes to develop complex flavors while maintaining bright acidity. Careful vineyard management and a night harvest ensured freshness and precision in the final wine.
Harvest Notes
The 2022 growing season presented unique challenges, yet the balance of warm days and cool mornings resulted in Chardonnay with remarkable depth and structure. Even ripening conditions in the final weeks of the season allowed the fruit to retain its signature vibrancy, yielding a wine that is crisp, aromatic, and well-balanced.
