Our 2021 Chardonnay from Champion Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast captures the perfect balance of freshness and richness that defines this coastal site. Bright aromas of pear, apricot, and crisp Granny Smith apple lead into a luscious palate that unfolds with notes of citrus, light butter, and a touch of oak-derived creaminess. The wine hits the front of the palate with vibrant fruit, then broadens gracefully through the mid-palate, where its minerality and texture linger long after each sip. With its lively acidity and layered finish, this is a lovely Chardonnay for those who love energy, depth, and pure coastal character.
