Hestan Chard 2011

Notes from the Winemaker: The unusually long, cool growing season of 2010 amplified our San Francisco Bay vineyard's minerality and stone fruit characters, providing winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown with the optimal ingredients for this focused Chardonnay that combines a rich, round mouthfeel with refreshing acidity on the palate. Hestan Vineyards Chardonnay is the exclusive bottling of proprietors Stanley and Helen Cheng’s 2-acre bay-front vineyard, planted at the mouth of the Napa River. The site’s unique coastal proximity reveals itself in the rich flavors and harmonious balance of Hestan Vineyards Chardonnay.
