Famed Chardonnay vine selection 4, which originated in Napa Valley, is distinguished from other Chardonnay selections by its incredible range of flavors—from apple, to citrus, to tropical fruit—which vary from location to location. Chardonnay selection 4 does especially well in our Monterey vineyard block 46. Hence, the designation ‘446’ on our label. Monterey is one of the coolest wine regions in California, so the Chardonnay grapes ripen very slowly, promoting vibrant flavors and rich texture.

The 446 Chardonnay exhibits vibrant aromas of pineapple, yellow peach, vanilla and toasted oak. This medium-bodied wine is balanced, showcasing a creamy mid-palate and crisp acidity. Bright flavors of mango, kiwi and honeydew melon are supported by hints of lemon zest and cinnamon butter.
