2023 WALT Sonoma Coast Chardonnay - 6 pack
Critic Review
"...a gorgeous wine that shows off great poise and richness in this slightly cooler vintage. Salted melon and citrus zest flavors combine with suggestions of mango on the palate. Gorgeous and generous, with a terrific mouthfeel..."
91 Points | Wine Spectator, MaryAnn Worobiec
"Firm and juicy, with an appealing whiff of smoke from the notes of pineapple and grilled citrus. There’s plenty of concentration to the mango, mandarin orange and wildflower honey flavors. The juicy edge gains momentum on the finish."

| Vintage Notes | The 2023 growing season was all about patience. A very long, wet winter replenished the soils and filled our reservoirs. Cooler spring weather delayed budbreak and the start of the growing season by several weeks. Late spring saw moderate warmth and led to substantial canopy growth, as well as a healthy crop load on the vines. Mild, warm temperatures created perfect ripening conditions throughout the summer and early fall. The longer hang time allowed the fruit to reach optimum ripeness, and resulted in a superb vintage that is fresh, full of flavor, with great balance and fruit density. |
