Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Medium straw gold in color, our Rancho Santa Rosa Chardonnay has a very concentrated nose. Aromas of Granny Smith apples, ripe golden pear, lemon and vanilla caramels predominate, with a slight flinty undertone. Flavors of green apples and pears, Meyer lemons, necarines and sweet cream are balanced with crisp acidity and a silky mouthfeel. The finish lingers with notes of vanilla, praline cookies and baked apple. The rich texture and vivid acidity of the 2007 Chardonnay make it easy to pair with many cuisines. Try sautéed or grilled halibut, steamed clams, gnocchi with butter and sage, and roast chicken with lemon and herbs.

    Rich and full-bodied, without being heavy, this offers ripe fig, honeydew melon, green pear and light spicy oak, all well-proportioned. Drink now through 2011.

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.

Sta. Rita Hills Wine

Santa Barbara, California

A superior source of California Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills is the coolest, westernmost sub-region of the larger Santa Ynez Valley appellation within Santa Barbara County. This relatively new AVA is unquestionably one to keep an eye on.

The climate of Sta. Rita Hills is a natural match for Chardonnay and Pinot noir, thanks to the crisp ocean breezes and well-drained, limestone-rich calcareous soil. Here, grapes ripen just enough, while retaining brisk acidity and harmonious balance.
