The award-winning winemaker, Matt Praetzel, sourced the grapes from some of the best vineyards of Lodi, California (Wine Enthusiast’s “Wine Region of the Year” for 2015). Warm days and cool nights bless this region with highly viable fruits. Expertly crafted and aged for 6 months in French Oak barrels, The Mistral is full-bodied, deliciously dry and features exquisite richness with pronounced, ripe tropical fruit notes. It has a smooth, creamy body and ends with a long, citrus finish. Pairs excellently with fish, mussels and clams, and soft cheese.

This gorgeous Chardonnay opens with fresh, citrus aromas of meyer lemon and lime followed by juicy, ripe peach, with underlying notes of honeysuckle, herbs and vanilla. The 2018 vintage showed above ­average natural acids in the wines, which, along with lower sugar levels, make the 2018 vintage white wines exceptionally fresh and vibrant. Take a sip, and you’ll find that this 2018 Chardonnay, Napa Valley exhibits extraordinary balance of citrus fruit on the front palate with minerality and depth of flavors on the mid-palate. The aftertaste is harmonious and lingers well beyond expectation.
