La Crema Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2019
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, United StatesAs big and as sprawling as it is, the Sonoma Coast AVA is known for its strong maritime influence due to fog moderating the warm summer temperatures. It is always the richest version of the brand's many chardonnays, mixing ripe red apple and lemon curd with orange and coating baking spice and vanilla-scented oak. It boasts a broad mix of clones, all barrel fermented and aged seven months in a mix of French (75%) and American (25%), but only 17 percent is new. It is a perfect chardonnay vintage and a wine you can enjoy now through 2023. Dungeness crab is a terrific match in British Columbia.Tasted: 06 March 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $31.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
