This 2018 vintage marks the debut release of CHEV and comes from Russian River Valley, where Mike's winemaking career began. It's a bright Chardonnay with luscious notes of citrus blossom, lemon curd and tropical zest with fresh, expressive minerality. Broad, balanced acidity with a viscous character and a lengthy finish fill the glass from the nose to the finish. Most know of Michael Browne for starting Kosta Browne, which began with everything he and his wife, Sarah had "which wasn't much. But after 23 years and three wonderful kids, we finally have our own family winery. And thanks to our team of hand-chosen experts- each uniquely skilled in their craft with impressive backgrounds, it’s the perfect pairing of knowledge, creativity, and passion that goes into making every delicious bottle of CHEV." - Michael Browne. Going forward, they will also work with growers in Santa Lucia Highlands, Oregon, and Washington.
