2013 Sonoma Collection Sonoma County District 3 Growers Reserve Sonoma County Chardonnay

13.7% alc., pH 3.50, TA 0.65, $18.99, screwcap. An un-oaked Chardonnay produced from grapes picked at lower Brix. Whole cluster pressed, fermented cold in stainless steel. Aged on lees with no malolactic fermentation. · Light golden yellow color in the glass. Nicely perfumed with scents of lemon wafer, pear and ocean air. Crisp, clean and very likable, with flavors of lemon-lime, pear, green apple, and a hint of tropical fruits typical of Malvasia Bianca. Classically styled and nicely balanced, this wine is enjoyable on its own but will make a rewarding food companion. A terrific value. Score: 91. Reviewed July 13, 2015
