Our 2022 Berlenbach Chardonnay from Coombsville is immediately expressive from the first swirl of the glass. Intriguing aromas of mango, dried pineapple, lemon zest, with hints of flint and fresh dill give way to a palate that showcases flavors of Meyer lemon, Asian pear, and limestone. The racy acidity lends great sense of freshness and crisp structure to the wine.

Located on the east side of Coombsville, along the Vaca Range, the 17.5-acre Berlenbach Vineyard is named for Barney Berlenbach who first planted the vineyard. Berlenbach has a western exposure with soils that are comprised predominantly of volcanic ash, gravel, and loam that are well-drained. The steep vineyard has slopes ranging from fifteen to twenty degrees grade that produce exceptional Chardonnay.
