ABOUT THIS WINE:
Bodewell
Chardonnay
A classic representation of Sonoma Coast Chardonnay, this wine is structured and complex. Cool, foggy, and windy maritime influence on the coastal vineyards forces the grapes to work harder, producing a highly concentrated flavor profile. Made to be rich in style, textural creaminess and light acidity make this wine beautiful, balanced, and perfect with all kinds of foods. $1 from every bottle sold goes to the charitable cause Wine to Water, a nonprofit focused on clean water initiatives around the globe.

WINE REGION:
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.

TASTING NOTES:
Pear
Green Apple
Lemon
This wine is incredibly approachable and enjoyable even for the “I’m not a Chardonnay person” drinker. Flavors that remind you of a baked pear tartlet combined with baked bread and honey provide a rich palate with each sip. Refreshing acidity balanced with textural weightiness make this wine perfect with all types of foods, particularly dishes featuring cream-based sauces or salty creamy cheeses.
