This infamous vineyard, owned and farmed by the one and only, Ulises Valdez and family, is home to the longtime prized clone of Wente Chardonnay. Our Chardonnay is comprised of 100% Wente clone, providing everything we love about Chardonnay – depth, weight, finesse, brightness – all fittingly strung together in seamless harmony. The vineyard is six miles from the Pacific Ocean and contains a unique mix of sand and clay – the “Sebastopol Clays.” The 2022 Carte Blanche UV Vineyard Chardonnay has delicate, yet complex aromas of Asian pear, blanched almond, fresh lemon curd, graham cracker, honey, and orange blossom. The palate is silky, seamless and fresh, with vibrant acidity lifting flavors of lemon bar, pear, and lily of the valley. This is a lovely, delicious wine, with aromatic depth and palate weight building with time in the glass. This is a wine to be enjoyed in the near and mid-term.
