RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

...offers up scents of ripe grapefruit, fresh apricots, mangoes and pears with touches of toast, fresh ginger and allspice. Medium-bodied with a lovely satiny texture, it delivers loads of tropical goodness in the mouth with a lively line and great length.

90Jeb Dunnuck

...Juicy tropical fruits and hints of brioche, medium body, bright acidity, and terrific balance all make for a beautiful Chardonnay that will continue delivering the goods...

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.
