Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

Intelligent. Enchanting. Refined.

 

Tasting Experience
This food-friendly Chardonnay shows juicy, fresh fruit aromatics and flavors of apple blossom, honeydew melon, guava and grapefruit zest. The creamy texture and rich flavors of toasted oak are framed by a bright acidity that lifts the fruit and leaves a lingering finish that will keep you wanting more.

This wine is the perfect complement to light salads, pastas and pizzas, as well as shellfish, grilled fish and grilled chicken.

 

Sonoma Coast
Among the redwood forests and golden hillsides surrounding vineyards north of San Francisco along Sonoma’s coastal range are sites that produce elegant Chardonnay. The marine influence, California sunshine and soil types allow Chardonnay to ripen slowly over a long growing season. Every year, our winemaker hand-selects desirable vineyards sites from microclimates in the Sonoma Coast, which ensures grapes reach their full ripeness and expressiveness.

In the Winery
More than 50% of this wine is barrel-fermented, goes through malolactic fermentation and receives fine lees stirring. This enhances the integration of toasted oak notes and creates a rounder, creamier flavor and texture, which is especially noticeable in the creamy finish. The residual malic acid adds crispness to this wine.
