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 selected vineyards located in the Sonoma Coast AVA, including the cooler microclimates of western Carneros. It has an elegant citrus aroma with hints of pineapple and white peach. The palate opens with delicate flavors of quince and stone fruits and finishes with a mouthwatering acidity. Try it paired with aged cheeses such as Gouda or Manchego, or with delicate seafood dishes, soups, and pastas.

Chef Kristine’s recommendation

Bright and vibrant, this wine has a long finish with good acidity. It’s wonderful when paired with French dishes and sauces- this wine just sings with rich recipes! Try with seafood, cream soups, some pates (rillettes), lemon thyme, thyme, roasted garlic, Chanterelle mushrooms, caramelized onions, and mild, (or creamy!) Thai flavors such as coconut-based soups, or sauces with little or no heat.
