Chalk Hill Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2024

This savory chardonnay opens to pale intensity, layering chamomile and Poire William scents over seashell minerality. The flavors are integrated into the structure, bring oak seamlessly into the weave of herbs. Its clean line is focused on delicate Japanese dishes, like hamachi kama.

Features pear drop, Fuji apple, ripe Bartlett pear and lemon blossom details that are elegant and restrained, but they weave in and out on a light, fresh frame that’s quite impressive. Gains a savory element, thanks to a touch of toasted sesame seed.
