Thursday, November 11, 2021 - I can’t remember the last time I tasted this bottling, as I have been a Sonoma Coast/Fort Ross Seaview buyer for years. I decided to grab a couple of bottles, and after one I am glad I did. It’s a a song sung in a different key. There’s a little more richness, some more bass, and a slight touch of creamy/buttery on the finish. It’s still bright and fresh, especially on the front end, but overall it is a bit more comforting, more cozy blanket, despite the blanket having a zing. I like the juxtaposition of freshness and richness. I will not ignore this bottling going forward.

When it comes to chardonnay, I am more of a Chablis guy, but am opening my eyes more up to CA chards like this one.
