Mt. Pajaro Vineyard is one of the most distinctive sites farmed by Rhys, perched in the Gabilan Mountains on limestone-rich soils that mirror some of the best Chardonnay terroirs in the world. It’s a cool, wind-battered site that yields low alcohol, high-acid wines with crystalline detail and savory depth.

The 2018 Chardonnay from Mt. Pajaro is taut and expressive, with notes of lemon curd, white peach, sea spray, and crushed stone, wrapped in a silky texture and driven by a vibrant mineral spine. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in mostly used French oak, it’s free of heaviness—pure, elegant, and slow-unfolding.

This is a Chardonnay for lovers of Puligny-Montrachet or Mount Eden—quietly powerful and built to age. Serve with shellfish, roast chicken, or just let it evolve in the glass over the course of an evening.

"The 2018 Chardonnay Mt. Pajaro Vineyard is a powerful, deep wine with a sense of structure that recalls a red wine. A huge core of fruit give the 2018 a feeling of virile intensity. Readers should expect a potent, savory Chardonnay that will surely be at its finest at the dinner table." -Antonio Galloni

"Palest gold. Aromas lean more floral and mineral as notes of white flowers and grapefruit pith suffuse the nose, while the body of the wine is all grapefruit and pomelo. Citrus pith lingers in the finish, with filigreed acidity that gains power as the wine finishes. Mouth-watering to be sure but doesn't quite reach the heights of the Horseshoe bottling. Having said that, this is a truly fine specimen of Chardonnay."
