RATINGS

90The Wine Advocate

...notes of honeysuckle, yellow peach and banana chip over lemon cream and honey-nut aromas. Medium to full-bodied, it gives up notes of nutmeg and toasty tropical fruits in the mouth, with good freshness and a tropical-tinged finish.

90Jeb Dunnuck

Buttered apples, lemon, honeysuckle, and a kiss of pineapple all emerge from the 2016 Chardonnay, and it comes from a handful of sites in the Sonoma Coast AVA. Nicely textured, rounded, and fleshy, it has impressive purity, nicely integrated acidity, and a good 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.
