The Roost

2014 Mendocino County Chardonnay

Bonterra The Roost is a delightful 2014 Chardonnay from the picturesque Mendocino County, known for its sustainable winemaking practices and vibrant terroir. This white wine showcases a pleasingly medium body that balances well with its bright acidity, creating a refreshing mouthfeel that beckons for a sunny afternoon. On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of ripe stone fruit, complemented by hints of citrus and subtle oak undertones. The fruit intensity is prominent, providing layers of flavor that evolve beautifully on the palate. Its dryness adds to the wine's elegance, making it an ideal companion for seafood dishes or light salads. Bonterra The Roost is a true expression of its region, embodying the essence of Mendocino's organic and artisanal approach to winemaking.

Region:


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.
