RATINGS

97+ The Wine Advocate

...pure, compelling and dynamic this vintage, and it takes some time for its delicate lemon and tangerine fruit to appear, accented by iodine and citrus blossoms. The palate surprises with its expansive, layered character, featuring candied citrus fruits laced with saline and almond, and finishing with anchoring texture and tremendous length.

94Wine Spectator

Delicate, rich and well-structured, with a creamy texture to the ripe apple and pear flavors that show hints of dried apricot. Ends with mango and roasted pineapple notes on the juicy, well-spiced 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.
