RATINGS

94Wine Enthusiast

...rich, mineral-laden expression of the variety is balanced and savory, with a touch of salty brine...shows complexity and focus, with a nuanced palate laced with apple skin and pear notes.

94Jeb Dunnuck

...rockstar! Buttered lemons, citrus, honeysuckle, poached pear, and some white flower notes all flow to a rich, powerful, beautifully concentrated Chardonnay that has some rock-solid mid-palate heft yet has vibrant acidity and purity. It's a beautiful, serious effort.

90The Wine Advocate

...notes of lemon tart, key lime pie and fresh peaches with touches of struck match, lightly browned toast and almonds. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with citrus and toasty flavors, with a racy acid line lifting the fruit, finishing long and zesty.

90Wine Spectator

Intense and full-bodied, with a zesty citrus edge to the green apple and melon notes. Acidity keeps the flavors fresh and lively.

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.
