Description

Tasting Notes For Sebastiani North Coast Chardonnay 2017

Our 2017 North Coast Chardonnay features fruit from Sonoma, Lake and Mendocino Counties. All of these appellations are well known for producing ripe and flavorful Chardonnay. The vineyards are a collection of fruit that produce full bodied and wonderfully aromatic wines.

We hand-picked and whole-cluster pressed the grapes, and then racked roughly half of the juice into barrels for primary and malolactic fermentations. The remainder of the fruit was tank fermented at cooler temperatures to preserve the bright fruit and rm structure. After fermentations, the wine was aged in French, Hungarian and American oak barrels.

Our 2017 North Coast Chardonnay is a light golden color with aromas of fresh apples, citrus and nectarine. The palate is rich yet crisp, with flavors of apricot, baked peaches, lemon and vanilla. Undertones of crème brûlée and toast are met with balanced acidity and a smooth finish. This easy to drink style Chardonnay can pair with a variety of food and also stands well on its own.
