RATINGS

96The Wine Advocate

...features ringing tones of jasmine to begin before blossoming to scents of spring butter, panna cotta, quince and yellow apple...light-bodied palate combines bright, juicy acidity with a luxuriously satiny texture. It has loads of floral perfume and a very long, layered, shimmery finish.

95Wine Spectator

Distinctive, intense and vibrant, with orange sherbet, mango and citrus blossom notes that show a drizzle of wildflower honey, with a hint of sea salt and crunchy, juicy Fuji apple flavors on the long finish.

90Vinous / IWC

...wild, exotic wine. Lemon confit, sage, mint, butter and tropical accents...

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.
