From the original Kiona vineyard planting in 1975, this big, lush Chardonnay fills the palate with ripe banana and stone fruit flavors. It was barrel fermented, then moved to stainless, and put through partial malolactic. Good definition, acidity, and a hint of minerality.

Though there is noticeable residual sugar in this quite sweet wine, the flavors are rich and appealing. Candied pineapple and lemon drop fruit flavors dominate; this was barrel fermented but aged in tank so there is only the barest hint of toast and oak.
