RATINGS

94James Suckling

Sliced-mango and pineapple aromas with some stone and sliced apple, too. Medium-to full-bodied and spicy with sliced peaches. Firm, creamy finish. Viognier, roussanne and grenache blanc.

92Jeb Dunnuck

It has a vibrant gold/grey hue as well as notes of crushed citrus, apricot, toasted nuts, and a touch of Condrieu-like minerality. It’s medium-bodied and impeccably made.

90+ The Wine Advocate

...reveals pretty honeyed peaches, poached pears and applesauce scents with hints of aniseed and wild thyme. Medium-bodied with a pleasantly oily texture, it fills the palate with spicy stone fruit flavors, finishing long.

90Vinous / IWC

...very pretty and understated in this vintage. Apricot, passion fruit, mint and floral accents...

REGION

United States, California, Sierra Foothills

Sierra Foothills AVA is in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and it includes parts of eight counties. With total acreage of 2.6 million acres, and nearly 6,000 vineyard acres, it is one of the largest appellations in California. Wine grapes were planted in the foothills during the Gold Rush in the mid-19th century and the appellation was officially recognized in 1987. There are five sub-appellations within the Sierra Foothills region, and more than 100 wineries, most small and family-owned. Zinfandel is the most successful wine grape in this region, though Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are also planted.

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.
