Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USAWas looking for a buttery, creamy chard. This isn't it, yet quite pleasant anyway. This is a "quality not quantity" winery, limited to 500 cases...barrel fermented and aged in neutral oak for 12 months. Fragrant honeydew melon, nice citrus and floral notes. I did get a creamy finish though. Very nice for the price, I may have to pick up a few more before this vintage sells out...

Solid fruit, good oak integration and a medium plus long finish.

It’s important to distinguish that this is the one barrel fermented, aged, sur lie. This definitely captures the complex floral wonder of the first Chardonnay’s I tasted from Sunce back in aught four. It’s so right at the right level with body, florals, sweetness.
