Trail Marker, Quink Vineyard Santa Cruz Mtns Chardonnay, 2021
Trail Marker’s work with high-elevation Santa Cruz Mountain fruit leans into purity and place, and this Quink Vineyard Chardonnay is a perfect example. Grown just a few miles from the Pacific, this site gives the 2021 bottling its salty, linear core and electric energy. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in neutral oak, the winemaking here is hands-off but precise—letting the vineyard speak loud and clear.
Think lemon curd, green apple, and chamomile layered over wet rock, flint, and a whisper of sea breeze. The palate is textured but tight, with mouthwatering acidity and no excess weight—just clarity, lift, and quiet confidence. A beautiful partner for oysters, scallops, or anything in a lemon-butter sauce. This is California Chardonnay for Chablis lovers, and it’s seriously compelling.
