The whole-cluster pressed 2018 Chardonnay Connor Lee Vineyard begins with aromas of yellow apple, pear, subtle pineapple, vanilla and banana hints. Medium to full-bodied, the wine offers texture across the mid-palate with hints of toasted almond before trailing with flavors of sautéed pears and Meyer lemon on the lingering finish. The wine rested in 8% new French oak. Just over 3,200 bottles were produced.

Revealing aromas of buttered orchard fruit and pastry cream, the 2016 Chardonnay Conner Lee Vineyard is medium-bodied, juicy and attractive, albeit a little fat and ephemeral. Drink it in the flush of youth.
