2017 Sonoma-Loeb Sonoma County Chardonnay

14.1% alc., pH 3.40, TA 0.74, $28. Grapes sourced from Parr Vineyard in Knight’s Valley and Sangiacomo Vineyard. Harvest Brix 23.6º. Minimal malolactic fermentation, fermented and aged in neutral French oak barrels for 8 months. · Moderately light golden yellow color in the glass. Aromas of lemon, spice and wine cave hold up over time in the glass. The flavors of lemon, pear, kiwi, yellow apple and pastry cream are fine, but the wine lacks verve and there is a burnt edge to the flavor profile. Score: 88. Reviewed June 19, 2019
