The 2019 Chardonnay Seascape Vineyard is another incredibly distinctive wine in this range. Candied ginger, passionfruit, lemon confit, white flowers and tangerine oil give this mid-weight Chardonnay tons of character. Bright acids lend freshness and verve to a Chardonnay that is very much on the exotic side of things. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2023)

The 2018 Chardonnay Seascape Vineyard is another potent, rich wine from the Sonoma Coast. Bright saline notes play off a core of unctuous, textured fruit. Apricot, pineapple, crushed rocks, mint and white pepper lend brightness to this potent, structured Chardonnay. The Seascape is sourced from a site next to Coastlands.

Holding body and acidity with more flavors of nut fruits, delicious. 2007 vintage is great!

This beauty is holding up magnificently. Citrus, apple, hazelnut and honey notes and a long finish. Drink over the next 5 years.

Absolutely spectacular Chard. Enveloped the tongue, had a silky, velvety finish, had a nose that reminded me of a little butcher and cheese shop in Chianti. Amazing finish. One of the better Chards I've had.

Wow. Someone said ' a wine can't be overoaked, just under-wined'. Agree, and this has lots of material
