RATINGS

94Robert M. Parker Jr.

...exhibiting a liqueur of stones-like characteristics, vibrant acidity, and hints of lemon oil and orange blossoms. Its wealth of fruit and layers of concentration are backed up by splendid acidity.

93Stephen Tanzer

Highly distinctive, lightly spicy aromas of white peach, dried apricot, talc and peach blossom. Fat and lush but vibrant, with firm acidity framing and lifting the flavors of peach and pineapple.

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.
