Bright yellow/green-hued, the 2023 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast is bottled under screwcap and is lifted and fresh with lime, white flowers, green apples, and lemon zest. It’s fantastic on the palate, with ripe acidity, a silky, stony texture, elegant ripeness, and a cleansing finish. A great value, it’s lovely now, but don’t feel hurried with this one. Drink 2024-2029.

The 2023 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast) is gorgeous. Racy and silky on the palate, with terrific energy, the 2023 is a fine introduction to this range. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint, tangerine peel and a kick of French oak grace this creamy, sensual Chardonnay. The 2023 is beautifully done.
