Flowers, Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast, California 2023

Mouthwatering and vibrant, this chardonnay balances elegance and energy with a seamless through line from nose to finish. Notes of fresh-evergreen aromas open to mandarin orange edged with pithy lime and layers of subtle coastal brininess. On the palate, the citrus — expressed with hints of plushness — stands in dichotomy with a beautiful backbone of acidity, as a distinctive herbal character emerges at the core. Lovely layers of texture derived from flinty minerality expand into a pure and vibrant finish.

The Flowers Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is sourced from the estate's organically farmed vineyard, Sea View Ridge, as well as several family-owned vineyards that share the farming philosophy and commitment to highlighting the purity of these coastal sites. This wine reflects the unique characteristics of the Flowers estates: coastal influence, topography, and distinctive soils.
