Trail Marker is a small-production California project focused on vineyard-driven wines. Sourced from select vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains, this Chardonnay is shaped by the region’s cool Pacific influence, high elevations, and rugged terrain, producing wines with natural acidity and mineral tension. Made with a restrained approach in the cellar, the wine emphasizes purity of fruit.
The 2021 vintage is vibrant and finely textured, offering notes of lemon curd, green apple, pear, citrus blossom, and wet stone layered with subtle spice and saline minerality. The palate is energetic and focused, balancing bright acidity with a rounded texture and a long, lifted finish. This wine captures the freshness and structure that define cool-climate Chardonnay from the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Varietal: Chardonnay
Appellation: Santa Cruz Mountains, California, United States
Farming: Sustainable farming practices
Style: White. Fresh, mineral-driven, and finely textured
