Sierra Madre is located at the very cool and windy western end of the Santa Maria Valley. Our block is planted to Clone 17 Chardonnay, also known as the Robert Young clone. The 2017 Chardonnay was picked under extreme conditions during a heat wave, but the wine came through like a champ. The SMV has a beautiful light straw color, delicate aromas of blossoms and beeswax and classical flavors of lemon curd and lemon drops leading to a long and balanced finish.
