Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Aromas of apple, pear and pineapple combine with a touch of oak, melon and white flowers to create this refreshing Chardonnay. The palate shares lush citrus flavors followed by distinct layers of apple, honey, pear and a hint of light cream and lemon that couple with great texture and balance making it a great food friendly wine.

Pairs perfectly with crab cakes, roasted came hen or grilled pork chops.

Professional Ratings

  • 92
    Here's a steal: a cool-vintage chardonnay with flesh and zest. There’s a saline, gamey note that brings the flor of Fino Sherry to mind, an earthy undertone to balance the sweet kumquat and tart grapefruit pith flavors. Serve it with chicken braised with fennel and mushrooms.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

The largest and perhaps most varied of California’s wine-growing regions, the Central Coast produces a good majority of the state's wine. This vast California wine district stretches from San Francisco all the way to Santa Barbara along the coast, and reaches inland nearly all the way to the Central Valley.

Encompassing an extremely diverse array of climates, soil types and wine styles, it contains many smaller sub-AVAs, including San Francisco Bay, Monterey, the Santa Cruz Mountains, Paso Robles, Edna Valley, Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Maria Valley.

While the Central Coast California wine region could probably support almost any major grape varietiy, it is famous for a few Central Coast reds and whites. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel are among the major ones. The Central Coast is home to many of the state's small, artisanal wineries crafting unique, high-quality wines, as well as larger producers also making exceptional wines.
