Year after year this Shafer-owned vineyard offers up wine with plush, exotic, zesty aromas and flavors. This is Shafer’s single-vineyard Carneros-grown Chardonnay, matured on the lees for around 14 months. To quote the critic Antonio Galloni, `Soft, creamy and layered in the glass, the 2019 possesses superb balance from the outset.

The 2019 Vin de Constance is matured for 18 months in 500-liter Hungarian and French oak barrels, 50% new, followed by another 18 months in oak foudres. The growing season saw more sunlight hours than previous vintages (2,998 compared to 2,588 in 2018 for example).
