Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This Chardonnay offers a bouquet of citrus zest, brioche and lemon verbena that continues to develop with time in the glass. A satiny entry of lemon-curd and Asian pear notes transitions to a core of bright acidity, a result of the partial malolactic fermentation of the stainless steel tank lots. Caramelized green apple and a hint of toast mark the finish. Both elegant and energetic, our North Coast Chardonnay is a harmonious blend of tank and barrel fermentations, decidedly coastal in structure.

Professional Ratings

    Science meets intuition in all of Greg La Follette's wines. This one is classic: clean and rounded with lush, ripe pear and juicy style; elegant and silky on the finish.
  • 91
    Complex fruit flavors that are focused and intricate bring a lot of life to this medium-bodied, lively and intriguing wine. There are touches of ripe apple, honey, mango and an underlying light layer of vanilla and cream, all supported by fresh acidity and a smooth but slightly tangy texture.

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.

Reaching up California's coastline and into its valleys north of San Francisco, the North Coast AVA includes six counties: Marin, Solano, Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake. While Napa and Sonoma enjoy most of the glory, the rest produce no shortage of quality wines in an intriguing and diverse range of styles.

Climbing up the state's rugged coastline, the chilly Marin County, just above the City and most of Sonoma County, as well as Mendocino County on the far north end of the North Coast successfully grow cool-climate varieties like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and in some spots, Riesling. Inland Lake County, on the other hand, is considerably warmer, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc produce some impressive wines with affordable price tags.
