RATINGS

97Robert M. Parker Jr.

...reveals a smoky, buttered, roasted hazelnut, ripe orange-scented nose, full body, an exceptionally impressive, layered, concentrated mouthfeel, and gorgeous purity and length. Only a handful of the greatest burgundies...

91Wine Spectator

Well oaked, with bold, rich, concentrated honey, pear, toasty oak flavors that are ripe and well focused. The finish is long and complex.

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.
