Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

2018 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

The Patz & Hall Sonoma Coast Chardonnay from the 2018 vintage is an exquisite representation of its varietal, showcasing the bright and lively character typical of Sonoma Coast wines. This medium-bodied white wine delights the palate with its refreshing acidity, which acts as a crisp counterpoint to its vibrant fruit intensity. Expect notes of luscious stone fruit, complemented by hints of citrus and a subtle minerality that enhances its complexity. The wine is notably dry, making it a wonderful choice for a variety of food pairings, from seafood dishes to creamy pasta. This Chardonnay's harmonious structure is supported by a delicate texture, creating a wine that is both approachable and sophisticated, reflecting the unique terroir of the Sonoma Coast.

Sonoma Coast

Stretching along California's raw and rugged northern shores—and reaching quite far inland—Sonoma Coast is the largest AVA in Sonoma County. The proximity to the ocean makes wines here very different from those from more central AVAs. Whether the vineyards are on high ridges above the fog line or warm, fog-shrouded valley floors, the marine soils, low temperatures and cool Pacific breezes slow the ripening of the grapes. The result? Highly structured, delicate wines with plenty of acidity. The main stars here are white peach-tinged Chardonnay and wild strawberry-flavored Pinot Noir, but you will also find some excellent cool-climate Syrah with notes of white pepper and cherry.
