- Farming: The vineyard practices high-density planting, focusing on sustainability and quality yield.
- VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
- TERROIR: Sourced from the Goodrich Vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, featuring ancient marine sedimentary soils that contribute to the wine's minerality.

- TASTING NOTES: Aromas of lemon zest and green apple; flavors of pear and citrus with a crisp, mineral-driven finish.
