Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The 2012 Carneros Chardonnay offers elegant aromas of fresh pear, citrus and Golden Delicious apple mingled with honey, vanilla, white flowers and toasted hazelnut. The silken-textured flavors reveal expressive apricot and peach notes, culminating in a lemon custard finish. With a beautiful balance of bright, crisp acidity and opulent creaminess, this wine is a delightful aperitif or the perfect accompaniment to a wide array of foods. Winemaker Domenica Totty's favorite pairings include rich, creamy lobster bisque; chicken Marsala with fresh sage; and grilled halibut with lemon pesto.

Blend: 95% Chardonnay, 5% Viognier

Chardonnay Wine

View all products

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

Carneros Wine

California

View all products

Known for elegant wines that combine power and finesse, Carneros is set in the rolling hills that straddle the southernmost parts of both Sonoma and Napa counties. The cooling winds from the abutting San Pablo Bay, combined with lots of midday California sunshine, create an ideal environment for producing wines with a perfect balance of crisp acidity and well-ripened fruit.

This cooler pocket of California lends itself to growing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. Carneros is an important source of sparkling wines made in the style of Champagne as well.
