Liberty School Chardonnay is sourced from key vineyard sites along California's Central Coast. Our Paicines vineyards attribute body and richness to the blend, while vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands attribute elegance, acidty and a tropical character. Santa Barbara County and San Benito County vineyards add a roundness to the wine, making for a well-balanced Chardonnay with excellent varietal expression. The anticipated El Niño provided around eight inches of rain in Paso Robles, which was less than hoped for, but much needed after four prior drought years. The rainfall had a positive effect on fruit quality and yields, specifically for the Rhône and Bordeaux varietals. In 2016, most varieties of grapes came in above average in terms of yield and quality, which was a welcomed surprise. The overall 2016 vintage delivered high quality fruit with above expectations on colour and fruit intensity.

The growing season began early after a very dry winter that included only half of the typical rainfall. The summer was sunny and pleasant, the warmest since 2003, and the harvest began a few weeks earlier than usual. The wines from this vintage feature concentrated flavors and our signature brightness on the palate.

The Zinfandel adds its signature zing to round out the blend and Petite Sirah contributes to the deep ruby color.
