Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2023

$38.00 / 750 ml
All grace, an understated, coastal Chardonnay that will drink well right out of the gate. Bright citrus intertwines with ripe pear and yellow apple in the glass. White flowers, nuances of white peach, and hints of flint create an energetic palate with acidity and tension. Beautiful in its youth, this Chardonnay will age gracefully and improve over the next 5+ years.

Highlights
  • Varietal percentages: 100% Chardonnay
  • Vineyard Notes: The fruit for this wine comes from a single vineyard source, Ocean View, in the heart of Russian River Valley, a stone's throw away from the iconic Kistler and Ritchie Vineyards. Our block at Ocean View is 20-year-old Robert Young clone Chardonnay vines, a clone which is known for its beautiful texture and age-worthiness. The moderate climate of the Middle Reach region of the Russian River Valley allows for the finished wine to exhibit beautiful depth of flavor while maintaining its inherent brightness - both qualities we expect for our Sonoma Coast Chardonnay.
Winery Info
BRICK & MORTAR
Founded in 2011, brick & mortar focuses on single-vineyard Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah, from select high-elevation vineyards. Like the great European wineries, they believe that the best wines express a unique time and place. So they let each of their distinct Napa Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Mendocino Ridge vineyards speak for themselves, with minimal intervention. They pick early, ferment with native yeasts, and use oak and sulfur judiciously, resulting in low-alcohol wines of grace and finesse.

Winemaker Notes
We are guided by the vineyard site and work towards expressing it fully through each wine we produce. The Chardonnay is whole-cluster pressed and allowed to settle via gravity before being transferred to 100% French oak barrels (10% new). Native primary fermentation lasts up to six months. No malolactic fermentation nor bâtonnage is performed to the barrels. This preserves a pure expression of the vineyard, as the intense sunlight of the site creates incredible texture in the fruit. Our Chardonnay is aged in barrels for eight months before a light fining and filtration before bottling.
