2019 Chardonnay
Reuling VineyardSonoma Coast
Reuling Vineyard — planted in 2000, this Montrachet clone vineyard benefits from cool marine influences converging from the coast yet with its west facing slope is exposed to and retains the sun for just enough time. The sandy Goldridge soils are ideally suited for this varietal, naturally stressing the vines which results in low yields and concentrated flavors.
Tasting Notes
Coming from a single vineyard on the Sonoma Coast, the Reuling vineyard, planted to Montrachet clone opens with vivacious aromas of apricots, citrus peel, toasted almonds and baking spice. Medium to full-bodied, the palate reveals a pleasant creaminess to the texture and a great intensity of stone fruit and citrus flavors, finishing long and refreshing.
