2022 Sonoma County Chardonnay

Crafted from carefully selected lots grown in the sub-AVAs of Sonoma County, which reaches from west of the Mayacamas to the Pacific Ocean. Fermented in French Oak barrels with partial malolactic fermentation, it offers a delightfully lifted mouthfeel with a weighty mid-palate, balanced by a refreshing bright and fruit-forward character.

A ‘textbook’ expression of the cooler-climate Sonoma County growing region.

    "Tropical fruits meet ripe apples in this well-balanced, fresh and forward wine that also sports tempting accents of vanilla, toast and butter. It’s light enough for a cocktail party and rich enough for almost any appetizer. Editors’ Choice."

    —J.G.. Wine Enthusiast, "Best of the Year" Issue, December 2023

Bottle of Sonoma County Chardonnay and white wine in a glass on a barrel

Our Vision

We choose small-lots of fruit from our grower partners in Sonoma County’s winegrowing regions west of the Mayacamas. Why? Marine influence from the Pacific cool 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.
