Hirsch Vineyards
Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
Always a special treat to attend the Wednesday Wine Committee. The hosts always bring out excellent wines!
This one grew on me the longer it was open. Thought it was MAYBE a Bevan Sauv Blanc as the color wasn't super clear, but as you can see, I was fooled. Not a butter bomb. Quick finish and more savory than sweet.

2013. Welcome to the fruit and acid dance. But don't talk about aromas. Say fragrance. And, I almost hate to use this word, but this wine is superbly balanced. Citrus and apples, gorgeous mouthfeel. Long, long finish. Terrific wine.

Jun 6th, 2016Sharp acidity with rich concentration and underripe tropical fruits. Needs time and needs a warmer serving temperature to enjoy. Excellent.

Apr 4th, 2016Massively impressive. Amazing how much the mineral and tension has come around with six extra months in the bottle. A shining example of how great Cali chard can be
