Luminescent pale gold in color, this vibrant chardonnay jumps out of the glass with fresh aromas of white peach and honeydew melon brightened by notes of key lime zest and night blooming jasmine. On the palate, enticing layers of nectarine and fresh orange blossom unfold alongside a whisper of sea spray, with a soft, rounded midpalate lifted by an elegant ribbon of limestone minerality. The finish is long, crisp, and mouthwatering.

A crisp and complex chardonnay with sliced apple, pie crust and hints of white peaches. Medium body. Lovely length. Delicious flavors. Excellent complexity.

A sassy, electric Chardonnay with aromas of baked pear and scintillating minerality followed by a striking entry of ripe, juicy pineapple and sea salt. Hints of toffee soften its vibrant acidity, while its overall lean body translates to excellent food- pairing abilities.

Pale straw-colored, the 2021 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast is 90% estate fruit and has an attractive perfume of white flowers, soft, tropical mango skin, and quince. Medium-bodied, it has a rounded texture and lovely notes of honeysuckle with ripe pear and preserved citrus. This is a softly textured, supple, fresh wine to enjoy over the next few years.
