Chardonnay

Sonoma Coast

Winemaker’s Notes

Our Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is produced without new oak, allowing the bright varietal character to shine through. Harvested from select vineyards in the Sonoma Coast AVA, including the cooler microclimates of western Carneros, the elegant aromas of fresh citrus, grapefruit, and white peach with hints of stone fruit abound. The juicy palate offers delicate flavors of Meyer lemon, yellow apple, kiwi, and nuances of honeysuckle, finishing with vibrant acidity and mineral-driven notes. Pair with aged cheeses such as Gouda or Manchego or delicate seafood dishes, soups, and pasta dishes.

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.”
