About This Wine


Linguist Estates

Chardonnay

The winemakers at Linguist Estates know the many languages of wine. Each wine brings with it the heritage of place and our team's deep study of wine. Since no two wines speak the same tongue, let Linguist Estates be your translator. Paso Robles is a growing region known for its diurnal swings between hot days and cold nights, ideal for growing world-class Chardonnay. This wine was picked at night, fermented and matured in neutral French oak to impart texture and richness allowing the primary fruit to shine through.

Wine Region


Paso Robles

California's fastest-growing wine region is quickly gaining an international reputation for its innovative and boundary-breaking wines. Located halfway between LA and San Francisco, the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County has two main zones. The eastern side has a hot and sunny climate with deep, rich soils producing plush, fruity wines with sweet ripe flavors. To the west, the cooling influence of the Pacific brings a zingy backbone to rich Zinfandel and Rhône favorites like Syrah and Viognier. Italian varietals like Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are also favorites of Paso Robles grape growers and wine drinkers.

"Classy Chardonnay with apple, lemon crème and gentle pear aromas that translate directly to palate flavors that linger long. Thanksgiving isn’t that far off, and this is a great roast turkey tablemate." - Rich Cook, 2020 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition.
