2024 Chardonnay Family Reserve Fort Ross-Seaview Sonoma Coast 750ml

From our Cinghiale Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast, we craft three distinct expressions of both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Each vintage is carefully evaluated barrel by barrel and clone by clone, allowing us to create three tiers - Caves, Estate, and Family Reserve - all sourced from the same exceptional vineyard. As the selections become more focused, the wines naturally gain greater richness, depth, and complexity, with the finest barrels and most distinctive clone selections reserved for our Family Reserve bottlings. This tiered approach allows guests to experience the full range of character our Cinghiale Vineyard offers.

Layered. Concentrated. Age-Worthy.

Our pinnacle selection, produced from the finest barrels and clones of the vintage. Production is extremely limited—typically just a handful of barrels, often no more than six in a given vintage—creating the most profound and cellar-worthy expression of Cinghiale Vineyard.

Tasting Notes:

Sourced from select blocks at our Cinghiale Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast, this Family Reserve Chardonnay represents one of our most refined coastal expressions.

The 2024 Family Reserve Chardonnay opens with an evocative bouquet of fleshy nectarine, toasted almond, and vibrant tangerine zest. Subtle notes of baking spice and the crisp minerality of wet flint reflect the coastal character and distinct soils of the Cinghiale Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast.

On the palate, the wine reveals impressive depth and concentration, unfolding with a polished, satin-like texture that balances richness with freshness. Layers of ripe stone fruit and citrus glide seamlessly across the palate, while vibrant acidity provides lift and precision. The finish is long and refined, lingering with elegance, minerality, and remarkable balance.

A beautifully layered Chardonnay that captures both the energy of the Sonoma Coast and the sophistication that defines our Family Reserve tier.
