RATINGS

92Wine Spectator

Rich and expansive, with bold flavors of ripe pear, fig and honeydew coating the palate, showing touches of citrus and citrus blossom. Long and clean on the finish.

90Wine Enthusiast

Powerful ripeness and showy fruit rise on the nose and palate first, with an explosion of coconut water and burly oak... Almonds, oranges and lemon rind combine before a dry 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.
