Carol Ann’s Oak Hill Chardonnay 91 Points James Suckling This Chardonnay takes its name from Proprietor Carol Ann Foley. It comes from the estate’s Oak Hill block and is made with the Chalk Hill Proprietary Clone 97 which is only found at our estate. Oak Hill has both Felta and Arbuckle soils. Each brings a different level of drainage to provide control over keeping the vines in balance, nutrient-rich and high in quality, as well as adding to the complexity in the resulting wine. Each year, the goal is to create Carol Ann Foley’s “Perfect Chardonnay.” Tasting Notes This wine is especially unique as we worked with Proprietor Carol Ann Foley to create her “perfect” Chardonnay – a fresh, round, fruit-forward, and balanced, yet lighter style with notes of Fuji apple, stone fruit, citrus zest and a slight mineralty. It finishes long with a beautifully balanced acidity. $90 Buy Now Wine Fact Sheet View Past Vintages ↓ Past Vintages Carol Ann’s Oak Hill Chardonnay Vintages 2020 Fact Sheet Tasting Notes Fresh, crisp, fruit-forward, and balanced, yet lighter style with notes of Fuji apple, lemon peel, guava and a hint of vanilla.
