Tasting notes
The 2017 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast has classic aromas of toast, lemon and Greek yogurt with hints of flint, dried hay and salted almonds. The palate is light-bodied and creamy in texture with bright freshness and a long, uplifted, mineral-driven finish. Give it another year or two in bottle. 500 cases produced.

The 2017 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast) is striking, especially at this level. Pliant, silky and caressing, with tremendous balance, the Sonoma Coast Chardonnay hits all the right notes. Apricot, white flowers, lemon confit and a touch of new oak are all woven together, but it is the wine's balance that I find absolutely compelling. Most of the fruit for the appellation Chardonnay is estate.
