Winemaker’s Notes

This Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is produced without new oak to allow the bright varietal character to shine through. The fruit was harvested from selected vineyards located in the Sonoma Coast AVA, including the cooler microclimates of western Carneros. It has an elegant citrus aroma with hints of grapefruit and white peach. The palate opens with delicate flavors of lemon, apple, and stone fruits and finishes with mouthwatering acidity.

Try it paired with aged cheeses such as Gouda or Manchego or lighter seafood dishes, soups, and pastas.

Critic Ratings

Tasting Panel Review– Rated 92:Elegant, with floral appointments of honeysuckle, and gardenia, accented by candied ginger. A creamy wash of vanilla-peach works its way to add depth and richness.

James Suckling Review– Rated 90:

Aromas of candied pineapple and glazed lemons with honeysuckle, spices and a hint of beeswax. Sleek and polished on the palate, with a medium to full body and a creamy aftertaste. Rich but vivid and spicy.

Wine EnthusiastReview– Rated 90:

Aromas of fresh pear, toasted almond and lemon blossom waft from the glass of this unoaked Chardonnay. Flavors of ripe apple, apricot and lemon wash over the palate, which finishes with pleasing whispers of salty lemon pith.
