- Byron 1998 Chardonnay Nielson Vineyard expresses the profound natural quality of the old vines of this historic vineyard. Bright aromas of golden delicious apple, pear and honey are accented by hints of spice and hazelnut. The flavor profile features concentrated ripe fruit, spice and floral touches with an attractive mineral component that weaves through the background. The wine is supple and silky on the mid-palate, but finishes with a characteristic kiss of natural acidity, assuring longevity and graceful development. Alcohol: 14.2% by volume

- Byron Chardonnay Santa Maria Valley is an exceptionally well balanced wine, displaying ripe, vibrant flavors and remarkable silkiness. Aromas of white peach and pear are complemented by a backdrop of French oak with hints of honey and butter. Appealing and approachable, the wine has a flowing, silky texture that carries through to its long, rich finish.
