Tasting Note
Wife-and-husband winemakering team Lynn Wheeler and Kenny Likitprakong named this one after their daughters, and as family heirlooms go, this has gotta beat a silverware set. Lynn's making this one, and working with some of the oldest (organic) Chardonnay plantings in the state (1944!)! Lynn works naturally - native yeast, barely any sulfur at bottling - but is after a classic, nigh-Burgundian expression of Chard. There's oak, yes, but it's neutral, balanced, and in service of the wine's intrinsic pleasures. Refreshing and bright with acidity, it's got notes of lemon, stone fruit, and white pear.
