Linguist Estates
Chardonnay
The Central Coast region of California includes nearly 100,000 acres of planted vineyard land. The appellation is long and thin, stretching down the middle of the vast state.

Chardonnay thrives in the Central Coast as it is adaptable to many different types of environments and takes on characteristics of each particular growing site’s terroir. This wine is a classic California Chardonnay. Stone fruit flavors are complemented by notes of citrus and a toasted nuttiness from oak influences.

WINE REGION:
Central Coast
California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.

Peach
Apricot

Bright stone fruit flavors of white peach and a hint of apricot meld with citrus notes of Meyer lemon and sweet grapefruit. Barrel aging leaves a toasted hazelnut aroma and gives the mouthfeel a creamy roundness. Sure to be a crowd-pleaser for anyone who loves this classic varietal!

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Linguist Estates
Every language has its own beautiful harmony, and only a true master linguist can identify each nuanced cadence and modulation among them.

Few achieve master status, but Linguist Estates represents just that in every bottle. Our wines share the intricacies of California's climate and winemaking with a rhythmic elegance you will be delighted to experience.
