Vintage Notes: 2012 is a vintage for the books. A nearly perfect growing season led to long and slow ripening of the Chardonnay grapes as they hung on the vine well into September. The pristine juice produced wine of great richness, without sacrificing the racy acidity.

Winemaking Notes: The Rickshaw Chardonnay has all the elegance of its Sonoma Coast peers, blended with rich notes of creme brulee and topped with ripe tropical fruits. For this vintage, we scoured vineyards all over California looking for the perfect balance of zip and lusciousness. After fermentation in stainless steel, the wine was aged in French and American Oak barrels for 6 months to add a toasty complexity.
