The 2018 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast begins with touches of toast and gunflint, gradually giving up poached pears, cashews, chalk and hay aromas. The palate is bright and fresh with a touch of savoriness and a lifted finish. 200 cases were made.
The 2018 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast spent 15 months in 30% new French oak. It's pure class, offering bright citrus and pineapple fruit as well as lots of white flowers, salty minerality, and just a touch of background oak. With racy acidity, beautiful purity and richness, and a big finish, this pure, balanced, awesome Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is going to keep for 10-15 years.
