Sonoma Mountain, Sonoma County, California, USA
Wow! This may be the best Chardonnay I’ve ever had. Something for everyone. Minerals, stone fruit galore, lemons, a hint of spiced lemon tea, a creaminess, the finish lass minutes. It coats my palate but is not big. Asks for food but also can be drunk solo. I can’t imagine anyone not liking this wine. Up there with the best Chablis and Oregon chards I’ve ever had.

Aug 31st, 2026This is van der kamp chard. The nose is bonkers, stone fruit, jasmine (may be influenced by blooming jasmine in SB now), lemon, more stone fruit. It’s so much. Palate is just lovely. Coats entire mouth with flowers, vanilla, apricots, lemons, tangerine, tart nectarine, some sea salt. Let it open for about 3 hours. It’s one of the best chardonnays I’ve had. Long lingering finish. At like the minute mark it almost gets sweet lemon hard candy in the mouth. Begging for another sip.
