2015 Sojourn Durell Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

14.3% alc., pH 3.31, TA 0.65, 450 cases, $48. Cleaned-up Wente selections. Whole cluster pressed, fermented with native yeast and aged in French oak barrels, 40% new. 100% malolactic fermentation. Bottled unfined. · Light golden yellow color in the glass. Nicely perfumed with aromas of lemon, apple, spice, vanilla creme, brioche and nuts. The palate is infused with citrus, but also pear and apple flavors with a hint of oak. A solid wine that is not to rich or too lean, with a smooth but not creamy mouthfeel and some finishing verve. Score: 92. Reviewed May 7, 2017
