Superb Chardonnay made by husband-and-wife team Walt and Joan Flowers, the aptly-named nursery owners turned winemakers, who have been developing their Sonoma Coast vineyards since 1989. 100% barrel fermented, the wine spends a total of 10 months in French oak. Aromas of lemon drop, pear, apricot and a wet stone minerality. This vintage shows crispness and intense fruit on the palate; lush and balanced citrus finish with roundness in mouth feel.
