Tasting Notes

94+Points Jeb Dunnuck – “The 2018 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast spent 15 months in 30% new French oak. It’s pure class, offering bright citrus and pineapple fruit as well as lots of white flowers, salty minerality, and just a touch of background oak. With racy acidity, beautiful purity and richness, and a big finish, this pure, balanced, awesome Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is going to keep for 10-15 years.”

93 Points Wine Enthusiast – “Quenching in crisp acidity while offering robustly opulent layers of pear and peach, this wine finds a happy balance through its undeniable richness, the oak well integrated and bursting in baking spice and vanilla bean.”

92 Points James Suckling – “Apricot, cooked-apple, lemon-curd and cream aromas. Subtle toasty notes, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with crisp acidity. Focused, mineral finish.”

92 Points Wine & Spirits – “David W. Hejl, who heads up Wine Country Capital Partners, started his own label in 2010 after a long stint as the GM at Kosta Browne. He sources this fruit from the Ritchie Vineyard, producing a wine that’s as rich as white chocolate, with buttery vanilla and orange flavors in the midst of cool salinity and freshness. “

91 Points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – “The 2018 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast begins with touches of toast and gunflint, gradually giving up poached pears, cashews, chalk and hay aromas. The palate is bright and fresh with a touch of savoriness and a lifted finish.”
