2023 Sonoma County Chardonnay
Crafted from carefully selected lots grown in the Dry Creek Valley and Russian River Valley AVAs of Sonoma County, this wine was fermented in French Oak barrels with partial malolactic conversion. Lively and juicy, it offers a flinty minerality on the mid-palate, balanced by a refreshingly bright fruit character. Aromas of white flowers, pear, pineapple, caramel and pie crust are followed by peach, lemon curd and toasted almond flavors on the palate. A ‘textbook’ expression of the cooler-climate Sonoma growing region.

-
Barrel fermenting in new French Oak produces well-integrated toasty aromas and underlying weight to the mid-palate, without overpowering the fruit flavors.
-
With meticulous attention to the diacetyl levels, partial malolactic fermentation provides a creamy, lush texture while maintaining a refreshing, lifted profile.
-
The region’s well-draining soils are primarily made up of gravel, sandstone, and shale - rich in minerals and nutrients.
Our Vision
We choose small lots of fruit from our grower partners in Sonoma County’s winegrowing regions west of the Mayacamas, where marine influence from the Pacific cools the vines at night, preserving bright natural acidity and lifted citrus notes.
100% barrel fermenting in new French oak adds toasty aromas and mid-palate roundness without overpowering the fruit flavors.
