Decade-aged Sonoma Coast Chardonnay hits peak maturity with stunning mineral precision.
Golden hue signals perfect maturity. Toasted hazelnuts meet Meyer lemon zest. Chamomile tea undertones weave through stone fruit core. Mineral spine cuts through richness. Creamy texture, bright acidity. Lingering finish shows lime pith, wet stones. Peak drinking now through 2026. Classic cool-climate expression.
