RATINGS

96-99Robert M. Parker Jr.

...crisp aromas of apple butter, lemon oil, orange blossoms, brioche and a subtle hint of smoke.

95The Wine Advocate

...Tangerine, mint, light floral honey and spices are all beautifully layered into the detailed, nuanced finish...allows the fruit to show the fullest breadth of its personality. Here, too, the finish seems to expand in every direction.

95Wine Spectator

Ultrarich and deeply concentrated, this is intense, persistent and graceful, with layers of ripe fig, honeydew melon, anise, sage and melted black licorice. Gets more complex and interesting with every sip.

REGION

United States, California, Sonoma, Sonoma Coast

Sonoma Coast AVA runs from San Pablo Bay in the south to Mendocino County in the north. It includes 7,000 vineyard acres and earned AVA status in 1987. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean means it gets double the rainfall of nearby inland appellations and the ocean gives the appellation a relatively cool climate. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir can thrive in these conditions, and there are numerous producers making critically acclaimed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
