Wine Review: This clear and medium yellow colored Chardonnay from Sojourn opens with a pear, vanilla, and oak bouquet with hints of pineapple and butterscotch. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, smooth, and seamless. The flavor profile is a gentle oak and Bartlett pear blend with notes of vanilla and butter. I also detected hints of golden delicious apple and pineapple. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity linger and lasts for a very longtime. I would pair this Chard with toasted buttered warm lobster roll. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: Our 2024 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay showcases three of the top vineyards in the Sonoma Coast – Sangiacomo, Durell, and Gap’s Crown. The goal is creating a cuvée that illustrates the varietal’s exceptional character across the Sonoma Coast appellation. Yields were light in 2024 with the vines producing small clusters with tiny berries, resulting in concentrated wines of depth and balance. Each block was pressed whole cluster, fermented in 30% new French oak barrels and kept separate until our final blending. An expressive nose of stone fruit and apple leads to vibrant flavors and lively acidity.
