About the Wine

Displaying the best vineyard-designate Chardonnays that California has to offer has always been a hallmark of Landmark wines, and our Starr Ridge Chardonnay is no exception. The Starr Ridge Vineyard is planted with the Montrachet selection (clone) of chardonnay, which is highly sought after due to the high-quality wines produced from its low-yielding grapes.
