RATINGS

97Jeb Dunnuck

...salty, citrus, and mineral-laced style... It has wonderful stone and orchard fruit notes, medium to full-bodied richness, terrific mid-palate depth, and a racy, vibrant spine of acidity that carries through the mid-palate into the finish...

95Vinous / IWC

Crushed rocks, lemon peel, chalk and white pepper give the 2019 tons of aromatic brilliance to match its chiseled, mid-weight personality. A whole range of bright, saline notes punctuate the finish.

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.
