This classic California Chardonnay hails from Sonoma and Carneros. Hand picking and whole cluster pressing give the wine rich and concentrated fruit flavors, while barrel aging for 6 months in French and American oak, and malolactic fermentation give the wine the creamy and buttery vanilla flavors that Chardonnay drinkers love and crave. Just over 50% of the fruit for the wine comes from the cooler appellation of Russian River Valley. Look for pear, citrus and toast flavors, and serve this Chardonnay on its own, or with buttery shellfish dishes, grilled salmon with tropical fruit salsa, or creamy cheeses with fresh pears and citrus fruit spreads.

The primary virtue of this wine is the pure, straightforward, unmanipulated flavor it offers,Though that purity is the key to its character, notes of pear and golden apple also show complexity from aging for six months in (20% new) French oak barrels.

Bright straw/silver-hued, the 2022 Chardonnay Sonoma County saw six months in 20% new French oak and is lifted in the glass with aromas of melon, white peach, citrus blossoms, and delicate baking spices. Medium-bodied and floral through the finish, it's elegant and has a delicate, supple texture as well as a clean feel. It's a very charming wine to enjoy over the near term and also an outstanding value.
