The 2015 Chardonnay Wayfarer Vineyard has an intense nose of pineapple, guava and ginger with honeysuckle, marzipan, cashews and brioche. The medium-bodied palate is incredibly taut for such a gregarious nose with wonderful tension framing the pronounced tropical flavors beautifully, finishing with lingering savory notes and a gorgeous creamy texture. 800 cases were made.

About the Producer
After nearly 30 years as an acclaimed Napa vintner Jason Pahlmeyer became increasingly entranced by the wines of Burgundy and set out to create wines that would rival the best Burgundy. Wayfarer is Jason Pahlmeyer's foray deep into the remote Sonoma Coast to make that vision a reality. He purchased an incredible parcel next to Helen Turley's Marcassin vineyard and hired the vine wizard David Abreu to plant it to a bevy of different Pinot Noir and Chardonnay Clones. Truly one of the most incredible vineyards to see in person, it is no wonder world-class wines are made from it.
