Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

On the nose and palate, mineral and floral qualities redolent of White Burgundy are met with an undeniably Californian personality rich with notes of stone fruit, pine needle, hay, nuts and lime blossom. Fermented and aged in French barrels, racked once, bottled without fining or filtration. Limited quantity.

    Coming from the B. Thieriot Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast, the 2018 Chardonnay Eterium is a terrific white offering a rich, opulent style that stays grounded by bright acidity and an impressive sense of minerality. Notes of buttered orchard fruits, honeysuckle, toasted bread, and white flowers all emerge from the glass, and this beauty is medium to full-bodied, has a ton of fruit, bright acidity, and a saline-like saltiness that comes through on the finish. Drink this classy, seriously impressive Chardonnay any time over the coming 7-8 years.

    Coming from the B.A. Thieriot vineyard, the 2018 Chardonnay Eterium waltzes out of the glass with lovely apple pie and warm peaches scents followed by spice cake and crème brûlée notions plus a waft of struck flint. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with apple and spice flavors, supported by lively acidity, finishing long with a gorgeous creamy texture. Rating: 93+

From humble beginnings as a trainee in a German orphanage, Wilhelm Maybach came to invent the high-speed internal combustion engine which led to his creation of the first motorcycle. In 1901, as chief engineer and business partner to Gottlieb Daimler, he designed and built the first Mercedes cars. In later years, Wilhelm's son, Karl Maybach, developed the first high-speed diesel engine and constructed motors for the Zeppelin airships that circled the globe in the 1920's and 30's.

In 2002, Daimler AG revitalized the Maybach brand in recognition of the father and son who together played such a monumental role in defining German engineering.

100 years later, the name Maybach remains synonymous with quality at the finest level. The tradition of individuality and craftsmanship established by the Maybach ancestors, the winery continues to honor with with its hand-made wines.

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.

Sonoma County, California

A vast appellation covering Sonoma County’s Pacific coastline, the Sonoma Coast AVA runs all the way from the Mendocino County border, south to the San Pablo Bay. The region can actually be divided into two sections—the actual coastal vineyards, marked by marine soils, cool temperatures and saline ocean breezes—and the warmer, drier vineyards further inland, which are still heavily influenced by the Pacific but not quite with same intensity.

Contained within the appellation are the much smaller Fort Ross-Seaview and Petaluma Gap AVAs.

The Sonoma Coast is highly regarded for elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and, increasingly, cool-climate Syrah. The wines have high acidity, moderate alcohol, firm tannin, and balanced ripeness.
