Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Enjoy aromas of jasmine, lychee and tea rose that transition on the palate to flavors of lemon drop, ripe pear and crisp green apple. This Chardonnay offers a smoky, spicy anise character that weaves through the honeyed finish, framed by elegant oak and bright acidity. Flavorful and delicious, the wine brings the richness of honey and the rigor of minerality into thoughtful balance.

Professional Ratings

  • 91
    From one of the coolest vineyards on the Central Coast, this Chardonnay's acidity is brisk and bright. It provides a balance to the enormously rich, long hangtime flavors of pineapples and other fruits that are tropical in their exotic richness. New oak provides the perfect touch of caramel and vanilla toast. A great price for a Chardonnay this good.

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.

The largest and perhaps most varied of California’s wine-growing regions, the Central Coast produces a good majority of the state's wine. This vast California wine district stretches from San Francisco all the way to Santa Barbara along the coast, and reaches inland nearly all the way to the Central Valley.

Encompassing an extremely diverse array of climates, soil types and wine styles, it contains many smaller sub-AVAs, including San Francisco Bay, Monterey, the Santa Cruz Mountains, Paso Robles, Edna Valley, Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Maria Valley.

While the Central Coast California wine region could probably support almost any major grape varietiy, it is famous for a few Central Coast reds and whites. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel are among the major ones. The Central Coast is home to many of the state's small, artisanal wineries crafting unique, high-quality wines, as well as larger producers also making exceptional wines.
