RATINGS

93Wine Enthusiast

...effusive, bright core of crisp apple, melon and wet stone...lengthy and lively, with a grainy grip to the texture that finishes creamy and soft on the palate.

91The Wine Advocate

...open-knit, inviting aromas of beeswax, spiced apples, honey and salted almonds. Medium-bodied, it’s silky, expansive, savory and gently yeasty with tangy acidity and a long, uplifted finish.

91Jeb Dunnuck

...clean citrus, lemon, and honeyed flower notes to go with a medium-bodied, juicy, mineral-laced style on the palate. With notable freshness and purity, terrific balance, and a crisp finish, it's outstanding.

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.
