North Coast Chardonnay

2023 North Coast Chardonnay

The Juggernaut North Coast Chardonnay from 2023 is a testament to the esteemed winegrowing conditions of California's North Coast. This Chardonnay exudes a full body with pronounced fruit intensity, making it an absolute delight for lovers of white wines. The wine opens with a vibrant bouquet of ripe stonefruit, such as peach and apricot, intermingled with bright citrus notes of lemon and green apple. On the palate, it delivers a lush mouthfeel with lively acidity that keeps the wine refreshing and balanced. Subtle nuances of vanilla and a hint of buttery oak add complexity and depth to its character. The finish is elegantly long, leaving a pleasant, enduring impression. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with seafood or creamy dishes, this Chardonnay showcases the finesse and craftsmanship synonymous with North Coast winemaking.

North Coast

The North Coast AVA is a vast "super region" covering three million acres of prime land north of San Francisco. It encompasses the famous wine counties of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino, as well as Lake, Marin and Solano. While most wines from these counties are made under one of the prestigious regional AVAs, winemakers can also blend grapes from different counties. In this way, they create wines that show off the quality of the entire region and are not limited to specific terroirs. Common varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
