Reuling is a renowned vineyard located between Graton and Forestville that has produced some of the highest rated Chardonnay wines of all time. Our 2020 Chardonnay is distinctive, with wonderful savory notes overlaying a rich fruit core and silky body. A unique “suitcase” Montrachet clone provides the magic, resulting in impressively complex flavors and texture. “This wine offers flavors of spiced baked apple that show hints of nutmeg and clove on a sleek, juicy frame that carries the weight and richness effortlessly, with hints of buttery pastry and lighter, fresher accents of crisp lemon, yuzu and grated ginger.” – Wine Spectator

International Wine Report
"Lots of bright lemon curd, lemon verbena, underripe pineapple, and just a touch of toasted brioche emerge
from the 2019 Sojourn Reuling, a richer, textured, yet still obtaining wonderful balance, Chardonnay. It
has classic Sonoma Coast style as well as good purity of fruit and freshness with a palate that is pushing
more towards baked apple, ripe yellow peach, toasted hazelnuts, cinnamon, and dried sage. It is aged in
50% new French oak barrels and undergoes 70% malolactic fermentation and displays a medium lemon
core with a greenish rim." - Jeremy Young, International Wine Report
