Sonoma Coast

Vintage Notes

No question about it, 2023 is a vintage for the decade. Cooler spring temperatures delayed bud break with verasion arriving as late as August in some vineyard sites. This shifted harvest later into the fall, requiring even more meticulous farming practices. While this made for a more challenging year, the prolonged growing season allowed for deep and complex flavors to develop. We can’t believe we’re saying this…2023 may best the incredible vintages of 2021 and 2022.

Winemaker Notes

“The 2023 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast has pure, slowly unfolding scents of vanilla panna cotta, ripe peach and quince, allspice and flint. The medium-bodied palate offers expansive, layered flavors that segue from peach to spice. It’s energized by vibrant acidity and has a very long, shimmery finish. Drink it now or enjoy it over the next decade.”
