RATINGS

96Stephen Tanzer

Vibrant, mineral-accented aromas of orange, nectarine, smoky minerals and honey. Round, sappy and plush but with a firm spine of acidity that lifts the powerful citrus and orchard fruit flavors.

91Robert M. Parker Jr.

Roasted hazelnuts, buttered citrus and wood smoke notes are followed by a full-bodied, honeyed Chardonnay...

90Wine Spectator

This offers a touch of creamy, toasty oak, showing nutmeg, green fig, pear, apple and honeydew melon notes that are crisp and lively.

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.
