Although I actually prefer the Rickshaw Chardonnay from these guys, this is still a tremendous value. It has enough buttery notes to please the traditional cali chard people, but also enough acidity and elegance to please frankophiles. Really tasty apple and pear notes with a touch of that oak...

Really enjoyed this wine — full bodied, lightly tart, crisp but buttery.

The 2013 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast) is gorgeous. Apricots, honey, mint, orange blossom and wild flowers are all laced together in the glass in a racy, perfumed Chardonnay to drink over the next handful of years. Simply put, this is a fabulous wine for the money. (AG)

Their pinots are better. It's not bad. It's just not the best. Maybe it needs more age. Very little oak aging. Medium intensity of aromas higher acid, which is expected from Sonoma.
