2010 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
Vineyard
This elegant wine consists of fruit from three of our cool climate vineyards: Rodgers Creek Vineyard is a hillside site, exposed to extreme wind and cold, that contributes bright citrus aromas and flavors; just downhill, Champlin Creek fruit lends structure and backbone to the wine; Green Valley Vineyard offers fresh acidity from morning fog as well as richness acquired from warm afternoon sun.
Vintage
A chilly and extended growing season produced a small crop and compressed harvest season, but the wine is richly flavored with excellent acidity and wonderful balance.
Tasting Notes
This Chardonnay displays appealing aromas of ripe pear, honeysuckle and lemon zest. On the palate, the wine offers bright Meyer lemon and fresh peach flavors, wonderful roundness and bright acidity, while a touch of French oak adds creaminess and length.
Alcohol, 13.5%; pH, 3.57; total acidity, 0.65 g/100 ml; 4,876 cases produced. |

Our Monterey Pinot Noir is blended from a few acres in each of four vineyards scattered along benchlands near the Santa Lucia Highlands that are subject to the cool, foggy influence of Monterey Bay.

We blend our Carneros Pinot Noir from select blocks in three vineyards spread evenly on an east-west line across the heart of the appellation, all exposed to winds off San Francisco Bay.

Rodgers Creek Vineyard is sourced from a single site high on a ridge exposed to extremes of both wind and fog, from the Pacific as well as San Francisco Bay.
