This mountain Chardonnay from our estate in Alexander Valley is a bright and lively expression of this varietal. White florals, lemon citrus and crisp green apple delight the palate, are crowned with a clean, refreshing finish, and soften into flavors of honeyed lemon custard. Pair with risotto and spring vegetables. Purchase at https://byington.wine/products/2015-byington-chardonnay-tin-cross-vineyard.

CORRECTION: In this episode, we stated the wine comes from "Harrison Block" (this is the reserve block that the 2016 comes from). Both the Sparkling and stainless steel Chardonnays come from the lower block (as mentioned in the recording), but this is called "Meron Block."
