2019 Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast
Intense aromas of Bosc pear, mango lassi, and a sharp minerality greet the nose. This wine is dense with notes of grapefruit, overripe pear, and soft oak. This wine has a lush and lingering finish. Perfect to pair with baked brie cheese, salmon with butter and lemon sauce, or a Sunday afternoon.
The Vineyard
Highlighting the beauty of the appellation each year, our Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is an artistic blend sourced from distinct areas within the vast Sonoma Coast AVA. Each of the vineyard locations, located within ten miles of the coast, contribute to the balance and beauty of this wine – from the wind swept regions in the southern end to the cool and foggier regions in the north.
The 2019 season was near-ideal, with a late summer with mild temperatures. The growing season was slow and steady, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly, retain acidity, and develop complexity on the vine. A majority of the fruit was harvested from mid-September to mid-October.
