Ripe, succulent peach, apricot and mango flavors are generous and juicy, with notes of toasted coconut, crème anglaise, tangerine and orange blossoms, plus a drizzle of wildflower honey. The intensity persists on the finish, with hints of shortbread and grilled pineapple that linger. Drink now.

Aromas of golden apples, pears, butterscotch, hazelnuts and lemon cream. On the palate, flavors of candied citrus, caramel and green apples. A stylized yet polished wine.

A bright straw/yellow color, the 2022 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast is a ripe and aromatic offering with aromas of lemon curd, honeysuckle, wet stones, and melon rind. It offers medium to full-bodied richness, with a rounded and delicately creamy texture, a nice, even lift of fresh acidity, and a subtle flourish of saline. It’s a charming and well-detailed wine from this warm vintage that will likely show its best.
