    Winemaker Notes

    The wine is barrel fermented using older barrels and these two vineyard lots are aged "sur lie" for 8 months. As with our minimalistic winemaking approach, we use inert gas to rack the wine from barrel to tank to not bruise the intense characters of this wine. Final blending is always the key to balancing this wine perfectly between the two vineyards. This Chardonnay shows citrus and mineral characteristics with a hint of stone fruit flavors and bright acidity.

    The perfect pairing for this wine would be a poached rockfish drizzled with mornay sauce and lightly buttered seasonal vegetables. Also, try with abalone.

    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.

    Reaching up California's coastline and into its valleys north of San Francisco, the North Coast AVA includes six counties: Marin, Solano, Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake. While Napa and Sonoma enjoy most of the glory, the rest produce no shortage of quality wines in an intriguing and diverse range of styles.

    Climbing up the state's rugged coastline, the chilly Marin County, just above the City and most of Sonoma County, as well as Mendocino County on the far north end of the North Coast successfully grow cool-climate varieties like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and in some spots, Riesling. Inland Lake County, on the other hand, is considerably warmer, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc produce some impressive wines with affordable price tags.
