Clean aromas of melon, sea salt and peach brioche make for a fresh yet edgy entry to the nose of this bottling. There's a great chalky texture and firm tension on the sip, where flavors of lime peel and lemon spray meet with an underlying toasty core.

Starting with the 2018 Chardonnay Cuvee Number Five, which comes all from the Sonoma Coast, this medium-hued effort offers a rich yet also fresh nose of stone fruits, honeyed minerality, Meyer lemons, and citrus pith. Still young and unevolved, with medium to full-bodied richness and bright acidity, it's a beautiful wine that needs 2-3 years of bottle age and will drink nicely over the following decade.

The 2018 Chardonnay Cuvée Number Five is slow to open on the nose, giving up baker's yeast, poached apples, acacia and almonds, then revealing honeyed notions with time. The medium-bodied palate has savory fruits, yeasty accents and a honey-nut finish. 350 cases produced.

Marmalade notes accent the concentrated apple pastry and ripe peach flavors in this well-spiced version. The toasty finish is long and rich. Drink now through 2024. 162 cases made.
