Vineyard:
"Expressive aromas lift from the glass of the medium gold-colored 2021 Chardonnay Seascape Vineyard, with notes of fresh sea spray, melon rind, and fresh pear. Medium-bodied, with a supple texture and a rounded feel, it delivers ripe apple, fresh white flowers, and a bit of mouthwatering freshness on the finish and has good acidity without being austere. Drink it over the next few years." - Audrey Frick (July 2023)
Seascape Vineyard is a six-acre site on a scenic ridgetop, located west of the town of Occidental, in the Sonoma Coast AVA. The vineyard abuts an old redwood grove and looks down upon Bodega Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The well-known Coastlands Vineyard also borders the property. Because there is no ridge between the ocean and the vineyard, Seascape is in an extremely cold spot, and Chardonnay is often picked in November - unusual to say the least. The vineyard is cropped to about two tons per acre to ensure thorough ripening. Although a challenging spot to farm, the reward at Seascape is Chardonnay grapes brimming with personality and a very distinctive terroir.
