Searby Chardonnay is fermented and aged in both stainless steel and neutral French oak, preserving the bright, fresh fruit aromas of Asian pear, key lime pie, mango and green apple candy. An enticing aroma of tropical flowers accompanies flavors of pineapple, orange blossom and citrus, enhanced by a crisp acidity and a touch of minerality.

Vineyard Notes

Searby Vineyard was planted in 1972 on the “Goldridge” sandy loam soils of the Russian River Valley. The vineyard is situated on a west-facing, gently sloping hill that is dry farmed and is very cool due to the marine influence. The clusters tend to have a combination of small and large berries, while the heirloom clonal selection provides Muscat-like flavors.
