RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

...hints of quince paste, roasted almonds, saline and white blossoms...medium-bodied, tangy and mineral-driven with savory note...finishes long and lifted.

95Vinous / IWC

Deep and layered, yet also translucent... Lemon confit, sage, mint, dried flowers and chamomile all grace this potent vertical Chardonnay.

95+ Jeb Dunnuck

...bouquet of ripe pears, white flowers, nectarines, and peaches. Medium to full-bodied, with beautiful purity and finesse as well as ample mid-palate depth...

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.
