Flowers 2024 Chardonnay

The dramatic landscape of the Sonoma Coast, with its steep hillsides and windswept foothills, gives us a diverse profile of welldraining soils, while direct proximity to the Pacific Ocean results in a long, cool growing season. These extreme coastal conditions allow us to produce a layered Chardonnay with bright fruit focus, complex minerality and crystalline acidity. Our Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is sourced from a small selection of family-owned sites, including our estate Camp Meeting Ridge Vineyard.

The 2017 growing season began with sustained and intense rainfall. Prolonged heat in July was followed by much-needed cooler weather in August allowing for complex flavor development. Strong heat in September brought challenges, but our dry-farmed vines were able to thrive in the warm conditions. Cool marine air arrived just in time for harvest, a welcome respite for a challenging growing season

95 POINTS - "Zesty lemon, lime, and green herb aromas mingle with citrus blossoms and cinnamon on the nose of this wine. The palate delivers a surge of vibrant acidity and pithy texture, with flavors of green apple, Meyer lemon, toasted hazelnut, and chopped lemon balm echoing for over a minute." - Editor’s Choice Wine Enthusiast

Vibrant aromas of honeysuckle and citrus blossom are balanced with rich flavors of Meyer lemon, pear, lemon custard and wet stone. Subtle oak notes of sugar cookie and vanilla round out a rich mouthfeel with a long, full finish.
