93The Wine Advocate

Laced with dried pears, flowers, spices and almonds. A rich, layered wine...shows the volume and breadth gained from its 20 months in barrel.. impresses for its exceptional balance, purity and harmony

92Vinous / IWC

Intense, mineral-accented aromas of lemon curd, pear, iodine and white flowers. Bright, focused and pure, with deeply pitched orchard fruit and floral flavors that show a suave blend of richness and vivacity.

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.
