One of the most compelling vineyards in all of California: high elevation, steep slopes, thin rocky soils, own-rooted 49-year-old vines planted to the Old-Wente selection. For us, this is the ultimate terroir. Intensely concentrated with vibrant acidity. Nervy, packed with notes of white peach, orange peel, jasmine, and a pure rocky minerality.

“The 2022 Chardonnay P·M Staiger Vineyard is a knockout. Strikingly well-proportioned from every angle, it’s a Chardonnay of real class. Toasted baking spices, slate, jasmine, linden blossom and yellow apple run through, touching all the bases and driving home with persistence and finesse. There’s a deeply attractive fruit sweetness buried inside the 2022’s core. This is finely chiseled and very precise, finishing long, fresh and vivid. Bravo."
