Chardonnay

Sonoma Coast

Winemaker’s Notes

Our Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is produced with the minimal use of new oak, to allow the bright varietal character to shine through. It was harvested from select vineyards located in the Sonoma Coast appellation, including the cooler microclimates of western Carneros, southern Sonoma Valley and the Petaluma Gap. It has a spicy apple aroma with hints of nutmeg and cream. Silky textured, it has delicate flavors of fresh fennel, pear and ripe apple. Try it paired with aged cheeses such as Gouda or Manchego, or with delicate seafood dishes, soups and pastas.

From the critics

Awards & Recognition

Points

“A wine with crystal clarity. Lemon ice, white grapefruit, honeysuckle, and peach meringue. A portion of the wine was aged sur lie in neutral, older oak barrels. Startingly clean and crisp, the texture is enhanced, bringing out the absolute best.”

Points

“Fresh floral and lemon-scented nose leading to flavors of light-baked pineapple, lemongrass and verbena, well-integrated oak and saline minerality. A tight style of Chardonnay that shows gentle oak and good focus on the balance of malic and lactic acid.”
