Positioned near the ocean on California's Central Coast, the Glasir Holt Vineyard sits on the western edge of Santa Rita Hills. Although Wagner’s intentions were to grow Pinot Noir on this vineyard, a small portion of the land had an enticing chalky-like characteristic to the soil, primarily due to the high PH level and its calcareous nature.
Beautiful golden hue in color with mouth-watering acidity complemented with aromas of Asian pear, melon and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, refreshing stone fruit, lemon custard and tropical flower. This wine has a well-balanced mouthfeel that dances on the palate with bright and lively acidity and minerality resulting in a phenomenal expression of a coast driven Chardonnay.
91 Wine Enthusiast Very plush aromas of peach jam and ripe nectarine meet with warm touches of brioche in this bottling from a vineyard toward the appellation's western edge. Those big peach flavors are cut by a citrusy acidity leading into a marshmallow-like finish, thanks to the ample new French oak usage.
