RATINGS

95Robert M. Parker Jr.

Notions of quince, white currants, stone fruits, white peaches, and spring flowers.

95Wine Spectator

Sleek, rich and concentrated yet amazingly elegant and refined. The mix of ripe pear, apple, citrus and hazelnut are detailed and sharply focused, and the flavors keep reverberating on the finish, ending with a long, seamless aftertaste.

92+ Stephen Tanzer

Initially more reticent on the nose, but opened to show an exotic apple, cinnamon and creme brulee character. Fat, broad, rich and very dry.

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.
