Only four barrels were produced, crafted by winemaker Reed Canney (ex–Paul Hobbs, ex–Marcassin), using third-use French oak to avoid heaviness and highlight purity. Sourced from Whole Road Vineyard in the Sonoma Coast, the wine shows bright California fruit, precision, energy, and a wild twist of mint-oil and rosemary-like aromatics that you almost never see in Chardonnay at this price point. It’s fully fruited without being gaudy — real Sonoma character, beautifully balanced, and hitting perfectly at cellar temperature. The winemaker sells it for $60, but we negotiated a holiday-only deal to offer it at $25, with an additional 10% off 6 bottles. It’s a micro-production, insider Chardonnay built for actual drinking, not collecting — and absolutely ideal for holiday tables after Thanksgiving is behind us.
