2021 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
The 2021 offering is a collection of eighteen single-vineyard quality sites that could all be bottled as single source bottlings; five blocks of Dutton Ranch, various blocks of Sanchietti Vineyard, Gap’s Crown Vineyard, Zio Tony Ranch, Parmelee-Hill Vineyard, and Durell Vineyard. The wine has inviting aromas of summer melon, marzipan, fennel, lemon drop candy, and fresh peach. Toasted almond-toffee and clove round out the refreshing acidity on the finish giving the wine great poise, balance, and energy.
2021 will be remembered as a challenging year, with record low rainfall, but also as a remarkably fine vintage with many wines performing near their best in quality. The young 2021 wines are showing great promise as complex and concentrated wines, sure to give pleasurable drinking for years to come.
