Opening with aromas of baking spice, and vanilla layered over ripe green pear, Granny Smith apple, and fresh pineapple, showcasing a rich and expressive character. Toasty notes and hints of beeswax add warmth and depth on the nose. On the palate, a generous, well-rounded texture carries flavors of lemon curd, golden apple, and honey-buttered brioche, balanced by medium acidity and a gentle creaminess. Soft, polished, and harmonious, it finishes with a lingering sense of richness and ease.

Vineyard Notes
In 1956, Helen and Charles Bacigalupi purchased 121 acres of prime vineyard land along Westside Road, in the heart of the Russian River Valley. In 1964, they were among the first in the area to plant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Bacigalupi family grapes garnered fame in 1976 when they were used to make Chateau Montelena’s winning entry in that year’s Paris Tasting. The oldest vines that remain on the property were planted in 1967 on St. George rootstock and are a mix of head trained and cordon-trained vines. This historic block is one of the main components of our Bacigalupi Chardonnay.
