RATINGS

97+ Robert M. Parker Jr.

....loads of nectarine, tangerine oil, mango and caramelized citrus, has a super-core of fruit and tips the scales at 15.8% alcohol. It also offers great structure and a liquid stone minerality. This big, fascinating wine...

96Vinous / IWC

Dried pear, apricot pit, spices and crushed rocks blossom ...Here the flavors are vivid, nuanced and resonant to the core. Brighter, saline-infused notes...

92Wine Spectator

A kiss of toasty oak leads to a complex mix of green apple, citrus, honeydew and spice flavors, coming across as ripe, sleek and refined. Ends with a touch of honeysuckle.

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.
