2013 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
2013 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
Our 2013 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a blend of several unique lots from three distinct vineyards spanning this cool-climate appellation. We sourced grapes from Sangiacomo, Durell and Campbell Ranch vineyards, spanning the far reaches of the Sonoma Coast appellation. Dry weather in both winter and spring resulted in smaller berry sizes with high levels of concentration and detailed aromatics. A lovely nose of stone fruit, apples and white flowers lead to rich flavors and an intriguing mix of depth and vibrancy on the palate. Refreshing and layered, this wine is a fabulous blend of old-world style and new-world eloquence. It is a pleasure to drink, with wonderful fruit, a touch of minerality, and crisp acidity that lengthens the finish. Each component of the blend was fermented separately in French oak barrels utilizing 30% new oak.
