2020 Chalone Vineyard Estate Chardonnay Musqué

Bright with acidity that supports mouthwatering flavors of Meyer lemon, nectarine and white peach. Chardonnay Musque is named such due to its especially aromatic qualities. This clone expresses delightful perfumed notes, a distinctive quality from any other type of Chardonnay. Our vineyard manager came across an especially expressive single Chardonnay vine in our vineyard and decided to graft it over to two other vines, resulting in three vines. The next year he grafted enough to result in eighteen vines of this intriguing varietal. Today we have an entire 1.7-acre parcel in our MacWood Block, as a result of grafting from one single vine.

2017 Chalone Vineyard Estate Reserve Pinot Noir

The 2017 Reserve Pinot Noir is a delight for the senses. Aged for 12 months in French oak, this wine delivers notes of raspberry jam, plum and spice, complemented by a distinct chalky minerality that is unmistakably indicative of our Central Coast growing region.
