Tasting Notes

The 2017 Left Bend Chardonnay is a beautifully balanced expression of the Santa Cruz Mountains’ cool-climate terroir. Aromas of ripe yellow apple, white peach, and toasted almond greet the nose. On the palate, it offers layers of juicy citrus, melon, and a hint of vanilla cream. Medium-bodied with a vibrant acidity, this Chardonnay finishes clean and refreshing with subtle mineral undertones. 

Winemaker Notes

Aromas

  • Fresh and inviting, featuring green apple, pear blossom, toasted hazelnut, and a touch of vanilla bean.

Palate

  • Crisp and elegant, showing bright citrus zest, ripe stone fruit, and delicate oak influence. The wine is fermented partially in French oak barrels with natural malolactic fermentation to enhance texture and complexity.

Finish

  • Smooth and persistent with a mineral-driven, slightly creamy finish that leaves a refreshing aftertaste.

Crafted with minimal intervention and aged in carefully selected oak barrels, this Chardonnay reflects the distinct character of its hillside vineyard.

Food Pairing Suggestions

This versatile Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with a wide range of dishes:

  • Roasted chicken with lemon and herbs

  • Creamy seafood pasta or lobster risotto

  • Grilled sea bass or halibut

  • Brie or triple cream cheeses

  • Butternut squash soup with sage

Its vibrant acidity and subtle oak make it a perfect match for both lighter and richer fare.

Why We Love It

We love the 2017 Left Bend Chardonnay for its elegant balance of fruit, acidity, and oak. It’s a sophisticated, cool-climate Chardonnay that offers depth without heaviness. Perfect for Chardonnay lovers seeking a refined, food-friendly white with a clear sense of place. A standout from a boutique Santa Cruz producer that consistently crafts wines with precision and soul.
