The 2023 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast is a bright silver/yellow color and is zesty on the nose with notes of lime leaf, lemon verbena, green apple, and fresh flowers. Aged for nine months in 35% new French oak, it's medium-bodied, with a delicately rounded feel, a smooth, even texture, and a floral, delicate character with lilac notes on the finish. It’s a great value and a well-balanced wine with a clean, approachable character to enjoy over the next 4-5 years. (AF)
