We are impressed each vintage with the consistency of Reuling Vineyard and the rich, savory character of this Chardonnay. It is distinctive and a pleasure to drink. Reuling Vineyard is located just off Highway 116 between Graton and Forestville. It is perched on a small sandy hillside and benefits from the cool marine influences converging from the coast. Our block of Chardonnay is planted to a unique “suitcase” Montrachet clone, which sets it apart from other vineyards in the region. Its complex flavors inspire your imagination. Beautiful stone fruit aromas greet the nose, with hints of savory herbs and floral notes adding to the intrigue. The texture is rich and full bodied, yet it finishes with balanced acidity and tension.

"Another stunning bottle of Chardonnay from the winemaking team of Sojourn, this one the 2022 Reuling Vineyard. Gifting a light lemon core with a watery rim it boasts a bouquet of white nectarine, green apple, honeysuckle flowers, wet clay, and sweet spices. Impeccably balanced with gorgeous structure and acidity that carries to a perfected finish with a touch of umami that hits on the back of the palate. Highly recommended." - Jeremy Young, International Wine Report

"Fat and opulent Chardonnay that balances a rich, toasty oak profile with lighter, more balanced stone fruit and baking spice aromas on the nose. This native-fermented Chardonnay is aged in half new barrels, lending some depth and richness to that brighter fruit. Drink this with roasted halibut. " - Tom Capo, Wine Enthusiast
