Amazing how different (but still great!) two different expressions of the Sonoma Coast can be!

Surprisingly big fruit for sonoma coast Flowers, tropical, lemon, lemon curd, slight vanilla, hazelnut and honeyed character. Well developed wine with some complexity and solid acid support. 4 of us drank in about 20 mins! Delicious..

Fresh and crisp acid with rich but mild oak and notes of clarified butter. Very well balanced. It may not change your life, but it's a great example of a California Chardonnay.

Pale gold color with delightful butterscotch, pear, white flowers, citrus peel, and wet stone aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, fresh, with a harmonious structure, and pear, apple, and meyer lemon flavors. Lingering mineral laced finish.

A nice Chardonnay. Not a big chard lover, but did like this one. Nice minerals, slight butterscotch overtone.

Very subtle buttery note on the nose that becomes bigger as it progresses. Acid remains despite the big quality

Oaky. Butter is definitely pronounced. The citrus taste is from lemon.
