CHARDONNAY
- 2005 Darcie Kent Chardonnay, Central Coast
- Exclusively made for The Four Seasons as their house wine, Darcie Kent Chardonnay is made from grapes grown next door to us on Crane Ridge in the Livermore Valley as well as from selected vineyards in the Central Coast of California, a diverse region that stretches north from Santa Barbara to the San Francisco Bay. We carefully select ideal vineyards for growing each varietal and craft this expressive fruit into superb wines.
