2023 Failla Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

The 2023 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is fresh and balanced, built on a foundation of mostly estate fruit. A long, cool growing season helped preserve the grapes’ bright acidity, giving the wine energy. Notes of salted lemon and citrus peel lead the way, accompanied by crunchy, juicy apples and a coastal minerality. It’s a restrained style, showing just enough tension, salinity, and a gentle texture on the palate. (ACQ)
