RATINGS

94Vinous / IWC

...terrific. Ample, creamy and voluptuous in the glass...exudes personality. All of the signatures of this site come through nicely in this oily, resonant wine. Candied lemon, orange zest, mint and wild flowers add nuance throughout...

93The Wine Advocate

...scented of ripe grapefruit, green mango, lemon tart and lightly buttered toast with a waft of beeswax. Medium-bodied, fine, refreshing and with a lovely suggestion of creaminess to the texture, it has lovely tropical and stone fruit flavors in the mouth and a good, long 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.
