Our 2022 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a beautifully balanced wine that captures the diversity and richness of this coastal region. Sourced from three distinct vineyards, each with its unique terroir, this wine combines the intense flavors of small clusters from Monroe Vineyard's Goldridge sandy loam, the tropical notes from Hall Road Vineyard's clay loam soils, and the bright acidity and crisp pear and apple characteristics from Critchfield-Black Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain's benchlands. Fermented in 15% new French oak and aged for 10 months with minimal oak influence (only 12.5% new), this Chardonnay retains its fresh fruit character while offering a subtle hint of oak spice. With a carefully controlled malolactic fermentation to preserve its lively brightness, this 175-case production wine (13.0% ABV) is a refined and food-friendly expression of the Sonoma Coast.
