RATINGS

95Wine Enthusiast

...fascinating note of grated ginger highlights gorgeous pear, peach and toasted almond flavors...complex, nicely balanced and mouthfilling... Oak spices are well integrated with good acidity and fresh fruit for an expression that's both generous and refreshing...

91James Suckling

The cooked apple and lemon rind come through on the nose with some butter cookie. It’s full-bodied and layered with an oily texture and a long, flavorful finish.

90Jeb Dunnuck

...ripe with tangerine, honeysuckle, and melon. Medium to full-bodied, it has notes of hazelnut, ripe peach, and soft white flowers and is supple, with a pithy texture.

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.
