Our Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay is produced from the same vineyard as our highly rated Pinot noir. 2015 resulted in the best vintage of Chardonnay in the Sonoma Coast region so far for this decade, and this bottling offers a fabulous expression of the varietal and vineyard site. Small clusters and low yields provided concentrated flavors, great acidity and length. We sourced fruit from three distinct blocks in 2015, headlined by Old Wente clone vines. This is a serious Chardonnay with distinctive aromas of citrus, pear, fig and hints of créme brulée. This leads to rich flavors and layers of texture, while natural acidity gives the wine length and depth. The grapes were pressed whole-cluster and fermented in French oak barrels utilizing 30% new oak.
