RATINGS

94+ The Wine Advocate

...opens with seductive cinnamon toast, honey-drizzled peaches and ripe pineapple notes with touches of orange blossom, ginger and honeysuckle. Medium to full-bodied, rich and wonderfully intense with layers of stone fruit, tropical and baking spices, it finishes on a lingering ginger-nut note.

93Vinous / IWC

...precise, nuanced and wonderfully detailed. Lemon confit, chamomile, spice and a hint of reduction run through the wine...

92Wine Spectator

Openly rich, complex and layered, with plenty to admire... Smoky oak joins the vibrant core of citrus and pippin apple flavors.

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.
