Two Wines of the Month for May! '13 HAKA Chardonnay & (Award W
2013 HAKA Chardonnay
Sourced from the Santa Maria Valley AVA, our Chardonnay is the perfect chilled wine on a warm afternoon and it pairs perfectly with seafood, Thai, and fruit.
Tasting Notes
Lovely pale lemon yellow in color with flashes of straw.
On the nose you’ll sense ripe white peach, nectarine and cantaloupe developing to crisp baked granny smith apple.
On the palette you’ll taste white peach that continues into yellow peach, grapefruit rind and pineapple that maintains the zesty baked apple signature. Finish is fresh, bright and long.

2013 CHARDONNAY - Presqu'ile Vineyard
Winner of the 2017 World Wine Competition - Gold Medal
Our Chardonnay grapes are grown in the sandy loam soils at the highest point of the Presqu’ile property, a sustainably certified vineyard. This wine compliments seafood and white cream dishes.
Tasting Notes
Medium lemon to pale straw in color.
On the nose you sense white peach and custard apple with hints of brioche and marzipan.
On the palate, think OPULENSE! Very stylized with interplay between fruit notes and minerality with subtle oak and fuzzy peach like tannins which go on forever.
