2023 Cuttings Wharf Vineyard

Carneros Napa Valley

Crafted with intention and a clear sense of place, this single vineyard Chardonnay reflects a balanced, thoughtful approach to winemaking. It’s polished but never formal—an easy, confident choice for gathering around the table or elevating the everyday with something quietly refined.

The Cuttings Wharf Chardonnay embodies the classic elegance of Carneros, opening with a vibrant medley of aromas: juicy pear, honeydew melon, green fig, honeysuckle, citrus peel, vanilla, and a touch of crème brulee. On the palate, it’s rich and velvety, unfolding in dynamic layers of citrus, stone fruit, floral accents, gently framed by soft, sweet oak. The finish is long and harmonious, lingering with bright citrus acidity, crisp green apple, toasted brioche, and delicate hints of white floral.

Farming for the Future

Moments that call for something polished, expressive, and effortlessly sophisticated. Tastes exceptional with crab cakes, roasted salmon, and cheese and charcuterie boards layered with soft cheeses, toasted nuts, and ripe pears.

Nestled at the southern tip of Napa Valley within the Carneros AVA, our Cuttings Wharf vineyard benefits from the daily embrace of Pacific fog rolling in from San Pablo Bay. These morning mists, followed by cool marine breezes throughout the afternoon, create ideal conditions for the gradual, even ripening of our delicate Chardonnay grapes. We cultivate a variety of Chardonnay clones, prized for their small berries and concentrated flavors. This thoughtful selection yields wines with remarkable depth and aromatic complexity, beautifully reflecting the vineyard’s coastal terroir.
Generous winter and spring rains in 2023 revitalized vineyard soils, setting the stage for robust, well balanced vine growth across an extended growing season. Throughout the summer, temperate conditions nurtured slow, even ripening of the grape clusters, intensifying flavor development while preserving vibrant acidity. September's warm afternoons and cool nights brought Chardonnay to full expression.
