Sonoma Coast, Chardonnay, 2020
Expressive and intense, gaining in focus and clarity as it sits in the glass with aromas of lemon zest, buttered popcorn, touches of green mango and crushed rocks. On the palate the first thing you note is the mouthfeel; silky and supple, generous fruit with cleansing rock notes below. It's a caressing wine, all calm generosity and cool creamy tactile fruit over subtle freshness. With a fine line in minerals below the fruit, light dry extract and a surprisingly kinetic long finish that is cleansing and controlled; each sip beckons you back for more. Fermented with just 20% new oak, aged for 12 months in barrel and six months in tank.
critic reviews
The 2020 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast is a blend of declassified barrels from Ferren's single-vineyard program. It was matured in 20% new French oak for 12 months and six months in stainless steel. It takes time to unfold from youthful flint and creme brulee aromas to deeper tones of baked quince, warm peaches and roasted almonds. The light-bodied palate pairs concentrated, creamy flavors and generous yet integrated oak spice with lively acidity, and it has a long, nutty finish. 272 cases were made.
