Description
Skycrest Vineyard is a sight unlike any other in the Anderson Valley. With vines planted at nearly 2,000' in elevation, it produces some of the most compelling high-elevation Chardonnays in the new world. Intense minerality of crushed rocks and flint are seamlessly balanced with high-toned fruit notes of Meyer lemon, green pear and Granny Smith apple. The finish lasts for minutes thanks to its mouth-watering acidity and firm texture.

The Skycrest vineyard continues to make exceedingly compelling wine with each vintage. As the vines mature, the resulting wines are more layered, complex, and unique in personality.
