RATINGS

94James Suckling

This is very fresh and angular with sliced apple, lemon, and green mango characer. Dense and beautiful. Linear and fine. Tight and bright. No malo gives it energy.

91Wine Spectator

Rich and juicy, with a vibrant core of citrus-laced green apple, melon and pear flavors. A kiss of butterscotch adds dimension and a measure of uniqueness.

90Robert M. Parker Jr.

, shows savory, delicate pineapple, wood spice and citrus blossom notes, an elegant medium-bodied mouthfeel and clean, zesty acidity in the 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.
