Head winemaker Erica Orr has developed a very strong following for her 'Shard' Chardonnay. This stainless Chardonnay begins with aromas of poached pear, brioche, and star jasmine. There are flavors of poached pear, Gala apple and suggestions of Meyer lemon rind that sit alongside the bright minerality. This shows nice balance considering the heat of the vintage.
