2024 Chardonnay Fort Ross-Seaview Sonoma Coast 750ml
WINE CLUB
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.
Structured. Textured. Complex.
The Estate tier is a more selective blend drawn from standout vineyard blocks and barrels, offering greater depth, richness, and layered vineyard expression.
Tasting Notes:
The 2024 Estate Chardonnay opens with an expressive bouquet of ripe nectarine and toasted hazelnut, lifted by a vibrant hint of key lime. Subtle undertones of crushed flint and a delicate touch of vanilla reflect the coastal character and distinctive soils of the Cinghiale Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast.
On the palate, the wine reveals impressive depth and precision, with layers of stone fruit and citrus unfolding across a graceful, seamless texture. The wine glides effortlessly across the palate, balancing richness with freshness and energy. The finish is long and polished, lingering with vibrant acidity and remarkable harmony.
A beautifully composed Chardonnay that captures the freshness of the Sonoma Coast while showcasing the elegance and balance that define our Estate tier.
