Summer Dreams Stargazing Chardonnay 2024

Critical Acclaim: 99 pts James Suckling.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Our first release of Stargazing Chardonnay captures the essence of California sunshine and coastal fog, a true expression of the Sonoma Coast. It opens with inviting aromas of ripe pear, yellow apple, and bright mandarin, layered with delicate honeysuckle, hints of pineapple, and a touch of toasted almond. On the palate, it is rich yet vibrant, offering lush stone fruit, baked apple, and creamy citrus curd, wrapped in a smooth, rounded texture that reflects both sun-kissed ripeness and cool-climate precision. A gentle note of caramelized citrus adds depth, while the finish remains lively, balanced, and persistent—echoing the interplay of warmth and fog that defines this charming Chardonnay.

"A creamy, dreamy meringue of a wine that’s rich and ripe yet light on its feet. Lime-zest, lemon-curd and buttercream flavors on a plush, melted texture. Full-bodied, well-balanced, silky and very long in the finish. Drink now or hold."- James Suckling. 

Varietal: Chardonnay.
