The fruit intensity is prominent, with enticing notes of crisp apple, ripe pear, and subtle hints of citrus that dance gracefully across the taste buds. The wine finishes dry, providing a clean and satisfying end that invites you to take another sip. This exceptional vintage showcases the quality of the 2009 harvest, making it a remarkable choice for Chardonnay enthusiasts looking to indulge in a well-rounded wine experience.

Mendocino County

One of the unsung regions of the North Coast, Mendocino County enjoys some of California's finest cool-climate terroirs. Lying north of Sonoma, it is home to 12 separate AVAs, spread through sleepy valleys and long, rugged coastlines—much of which exudes a rustic, laid-back feel. Mendocino delights fans of top-quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling wine, but there is also plenty of fine Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Syrah made in its warmer sites too. Mendocino is also famous for its high number of organic-certified vineyards, reflecting the general "off-grid" hippie nature of its winemaking pioneers.
