    Somm Note

    Winemaker Notes

    Our 2009 Chardonnay opens with big tropical aromatics of papaya, Asian pear, and tangerine. Subtle French oak aging adds soft sandalwood notes and background complexity to the the aroma. The flavors of this wine are bright and fruit-forward; juicy red apple, mango, and brioche, complement a zesty tangerine acidity and a hint of white chocolate that comes from aging the wine on its winemaking yeast. This "sur lie" aging also lends a silky crème brûlée mouthfeel. Finishing with bright lemon and toasty French oak, this is relaxed California Chardonnay at its finest.

    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.
