This harmonious and well-balanced wine opens with light butter, toast and Bartlett pear aromas, then fills the mouth with rich pear and peach flavors accented by vanilla. A full body is nicely paired with good acidity, so the wine works fine as a cocktail or with lunch and dinner.

A bright straw yellow color, the 2021 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast is forward and ripe in the glass, with oak-inflected spiced notes of baked apple, toasted baking spice, and honeyed citrus. Medium-bodied, it keeps nice tension on the palate, with a vibrant but ripe spine of acidity and a rounded, medium to full-bodied feel that wraps it. It has a mouthwatering feel and a nice flourish of decadence. Drink now or over the next 4-5 years. 8913 cases produced.
