A stony coolness from the combination of the old vines and the stainless ferments brings a level of restraint and austerity that adds elegance to the layers that quickly build up on the palate. Fruit density from the low yielding vines and toasty notes from the barrel ferments add richness and length. For a cool climate chardonnay it displays remarkable amounts of fruit alongside the expected notes of citrus, stone and oyster shell brininess. Learn More

A passion for a more austere Chablis style wine from this noble grape has been my goal for more than 36 years. The wine emphasizes and develops a minerality which, with age, develops into a very racy and elegant food worthy wine. Learn More

The 2014 Vintage while certainly the qualitative equal of 2012 and 2013, has a rather different tone. These wines are brooding, intense, elegant and deeply textural. They are wines of meditation and grace and will provide years of growing, fascinating complexity. An incredible reminder of how precious the relationships are, with their own vineyards and the vineyards they source from. Learn More

The wine is very light golden in color with mineral aromas (that wet-stone, gravel, non-fruity component), as well as apple, cardamom, vanilla, toasted hazelnut, basil, and a slight hint of orange peel. All components are in harmony, offering a rich yet balanced mouth. Learn More

Another Sonoma Coast releases is the 2016 Chardonnay Durell Vineyard. Quince, buttered citrus, white flowers, creamed corn, and some smoky minerality all define this layered, medium to full-bodied, ultra-pure Chardonnay that has acidity, concentration, and length. It's another gem and all these 2016s are a significant step up over the 2015s.

Founded in 2001 by childhood friends, Arnot-Roberts has played a huge part in advocating for naturally produced single-vineyard bottlings from California. Fruit for this unctuous yet balanced bottle of Chardonnay hails from one of California’s most legendary vineyard sites. ‘Sanford & Benedict’ is dry-farmed and cultivated organically, which leads to smaller amounts of concentrated & healthy fruit. A delightful and terroir-driven expression from one of our favorite Golden State producers! Learn More

The wine is very expressive in the glass, where varietal character is conveyed through aromas of lemon curd, honeysuckle, kiwi, Fuji apple, creamy pineapple and toasted bread. The flavors are plush, oily, and concentrated but with an underlying crispness. Mountain apples and ripe stone fruit lead the path towards a lengthy citrus finish. Learn More
