Much Ado About Edna Valley

Five miles from the Pacific Ocean lies the trellis-lined rolling hills of exquisite Edna Valley. Not too far from Pismo Beach lies a bountiful oasis of grapes and in this kingdom of flawless vines, Chardonnay (and Pinot) reign. 

Something about the unique East-West orientation of the valley, the close (but not too close) splashing ocean, the California glinting sun, the valley’s assorted microclimates and scores of soil types varying from each hilltop to the next … it all imparts the undeniable phenomenon that anyone who has been there can fondly recall (and is doing so now with a smile on their lips)… 

The relaxing vibe emanating from the vines is so infectious all life throughout the entire valley is slowed to an enjoyable pace. It’s like the grapes spend a lifetime drinking in the California sun but are cooled by the ocean mist into a prolific and prolonged growing season. And in a world full of the fast and the furious, it’s a treasure to find the slow and steady. 

We have carefully and deliberately hand-sculpted our Chardonnay so that the renowned laid-back Edna Valley atmosphere spills from every bottle like the serenity of those rolling hills can be bottled and savored anywhere anytime.

Don’t mistake relaxation for laziness, one sip of this coastal Chardonnay tropically energizes your taste and livens you through its elegant acidity.

This 100% single-vineyard Chardonnay is marked by plunging velvet richness on the palate with a playful twist of pineapple flower and a parting kiss of impeccable and unmistakable French oak.

The breeze wisping over the surface of the ocean carries the sea-mist to be gently placed on the grapes creating one of the longest, and coolest growing seasons in California.
