Our 2020 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a testament to the purity of its vintage, crafted with precision and care to reflect the unique terroir of the region.This voluptuous Chardonnay has a balanced weight without the heaviness. Complex and age-worthy, full of captivating texture with a sublime lift of freshness throughout.
This Chardonnay was hand-harvested on September 1, 2020, well ahead of the fires and smoke that impacted Sonoma County later that month. The early harvest ensured pristine fruit quality, capturing the essence of the vintage.The wine was aged for 19 months in French oak barrels, utilizing a mix of 600L and 228L formats. Only 20% of the barrels were new, allowing for subtle oak influence while preserving the vibrant character of the Chardonnay. The remaining barrels were neutral, ensuring a balanced expression of fruit and minerality. The wine was bottled in May 2022 under cork closure with a Spanish tin capsule. With an alcohol content of 14.4%, this limited-production wine showcases its elegance and complexity. Only 142 cases were produced, making it a rare and special offering. This Chardonnay exemplifies our commitment to crafting terroir-driven wines that highlight the natural beauty of Sonoma Coast vineyards.
The vineyards of the Sonoma Coast are defined by their dramatic, rugged terrain and cool maritime climate, producing exceptional Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with bright acidity, complex flavors, and a distinct expression of terroir.
