2016 Thomas Fogarty Chardonnay, Langley Hill Vineyard, Santa Cruz Mountains   

Winery Notes: Langley Hill is our largest pot of Estate Chardonnay. It occupies a steep hillside offering numerous exposures and soil depths. We often make multiple passes through the 5.25 acres each harvest. Langley Hill is often the last of our Chardonnays to be picked as it is a decidedly cool site that ripens at a slower pace than neighboring vineyards. The vineyard's fractured sandstone over bedrock yields a Chardonnay that is steely and structured with persistent citrus and mineral flavors. TASTING NOTES Langley Hill Chardonnay is all about balance and texture. Generous fruit with bright acidity are the hallmarks of this hillside site.
