Winestyr Review

This Chardonnay delivers a lot of complexity and character. Well-balanced for an oaky Chardonnay, this creamy wine underwent 100% malolactic fermentation giving it a very rich and luxurious mouthfeel. This wine has some cinnamon and baked apple pie flavors. 14 months in 33% new French oak from Burgundy gives this wine a nice clean backbone. Very drinkable and food friendly. For anyone who wants to test the waters of truly great (and ageable) Chardonnay, this is the wine.

Vrai Cote

Vrai Cote, which means "true coast" in French, is the second label from master of Burgundian varieties, Bill Hunter. Bill Hunter is best known for his Chasseur (means "hunter" in French) label of wines and has created a name for making stunning expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with fruit from some of the best vineyards on the true Sonoma Coast. These wines contain declassified barrels from his other wines and represent a tremendous value.
