Jackson Estate Sable Mountain CHARDONNAY 2022

Soaring at almost 2000 feet above sea level, Sable Mountain Chardonnay comes from our highest elevation site in Anderson Valley. The Navarro River runs through the valley, cutting through the mountains welcoming coastal fog and cold ocean winds to the region. The cool climate and high elevation results in developed flavors and bright natural acidity in Chardonnay.  An aromatic nose showcases ripe honeydew melon and green apple. The palate follows with beautiful citrus notes and bright acid that balance out the soft toasted vanilla notes and rich layered mouthfeel.
