2012 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
2012 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
Chardonnay clone 95 was chosen from the Sangiacomo vineyard along Robert’s Road where we have been sourcing our flagship Pinot noir since 2004. This vineyard is situated in the very cool northern Petaluma gap and provides layers of minerality and citrus notes along with rich structure and length. Chardonnay clones 76 and Robert Young from Rodgers Creek Vineyard form a foundation of stone fruit and crisp acidity. Old Wente clone from Campbell Ranch Vineyard along the northern Sonoma Coast adds tropical notes and lifts the wine. These components merge to bring you this fine Chardonnay that is a pleasure to drink.
