2014 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

2014 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

Price: $35.00
Qty.  

I am six years into my exploration of Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. Last year, I wrote of my interest in alternates to the 225 liter barrel as a fermenting and aging vessel, and I continue to be encouraged by the results of using concrete and larger formats as a way to finesse the development of the wines. A lot of fun.

I love my 2014 wines, so far at least. I used to say that my favorite California wines were those that combined the energy and cut of old world wines with the generosity and forward fruit of the new world. All my 2014s are like that. We'll see how they develop, but for now I could scarcely be more pleased. 

The Chardonnay once again comes from the La Cruz vineyard in the Petaluma Gap. In its youth, there is an almost flinty component in the wine that I find quite compelling. As usual, the oak component is pretty subtle, just enough to add some richness to the palate but stay out of the way of the grape.
