This hillside site in rugged Fort Ross-Seaview sits at 1,200 feet in elevation, only a couple of miles inland from the Pacific Ocean and just up the road from Sea Field. The vines, planted over 40 years ago, represent some of the oldest plantings of chardonnay on the coast. Sitting atop well-drained, rocky soils, the yields are naturally low, giving wines of incredible depth, concentration and minerality.

Aromas of fresh white and yellow flowers jump from the glass, followed by white nectarine, crunchy apricot and cool elderflower. Lime blossom and lemon zest are followed by just-ripe yellow peaches. Crushed seashells, wet rock, and a dash of sea salt transport us to the site where these vines are rooted, giving way to a depth of flavors and aromas that provide a racy yet elegant finish.​
