Notes & Flavors
In an effort to produce a wine that pays honorable tribute to the esteemed Sonoma Coast AVA as well as over-deliver in quality for both the Chardonnay enthusiast and casual wine drinker alike, we source our grapes from premium sites throughout the region. Our long established relationships with the growers who supply our fruit ensures consistent, impeccable quality vintage after vintage. This blend includes, in large part, several of the vineyards that have shown as standouts within the vast and rugged Sonoma Coast.
Lots were aged for eleven months in new premium French oak barrels, along with more nuanced 1-2 year old barrels.
Fresh pomegranate, strawberry, ripe Bing cherry with notes of sarsaparilla. Tart cranberry carries throughout with a touch of mace and silky refined tannins.
94 Points, James Suckling
"This is really fresh and clean with sliced dried strawberries, flowers and citrus. Medium-bodied, very poised and refined with a long, crisp finish. California brightness with French sensitivity. Drink or hold."
