Six Cloves Wines Oak Knoll Chardonnay Linda Vista Vineyard 2020 modified_title_tag Espadin 6 to 8 yearsSonoe Hirabayashi makes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Chardonnay is grown by Napa master Steven Math in the quite cool Linda Vista vineyard. The wine is made in a style that will please admirers of, say, PYCM, following her intuitions to pick early barrel age wines on their lees. Acidity is great and alcohol is modest.
