RATINGS

96Wine Enthusiast

...exuberantly fruity, with a salty sea air quality that adds to its unctuous mouthfeel. Green apple, pear and tangerine provide freshness and contrast, remaining light and bright through a lengthy, well-integrated palate.

96Jeb Dunnuck

...juicy yet rich, powerful wine...lots of honeyed citrus, white flowers, and almond paste, it has wonderful purity of fruit, bright, almost racy acidity, plenty of mid-palate flesh and depth, and a great finish.

95James Suckling

A lively and inviting nose of pink grapefruit, crushed sage and fresh white flowers. Medium-bodied with lovely mineral character and bright, fresh acidity. The palate glows with juicy stone fruit and dried flowers...remarkable harmony and grace... Refined and elegant.

93Vinous / IWC

...laced with tangerine oil, almond, dried flowers and sage. There is terrific brightness here... Aromatic and layered, with terrific balance...impressive.

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.
