    Somm Note

    Winemaker Notes

    Smoking Loon Chardonnay opens up with a pronounced buttery sandalwood bouquet coupled with uplifting floral notes and the influence of ripe pluot. In addition to its wonderfully fragrant aroma, it's very pleasing on the palate, dry and crisp with a touch of minerality. Layered flavors of wild flower honey, Bartlett pear and tropical fruit flavors pre-dominate with a hint of fresh coconut on the finish. Delicate French oak aging gives added complexity to this refreshing California Chardonnay.

    California’s most praised white wine, Chardonnay is also the state’s most planted white grape variety. Diverse terrain and microclimates allow for an incredible range of wine styles.

    Chardonnay planted in the cooler, coastal zones takes on bright characteristics like lemon zest, key lime, green apple and wet flint. For this style, look to the chilly Sonoma Coast, Carneros, Santa Cruz Mountains, Santa Lucia Highlands and Edna Valley.

    The inland zones of California’s coast, such as the Russian River, Sonoma, Napa and Livermore Valleys maintain a more Goldilocks-esque climate where both styles go. Early picking retains acidity and creates a leaner style but leaving the grapes to hang creates an approachable Chardonnay, balancing richness and finesse.

    Chardonnay also plays a major part in the sparkling wine production of the Anderson Valley and Carneros.
