Bloodroot Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2023

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

"This Chardonnay gives a cool-climate feel that reflects the coastal vineyards it comes from. The wine is aged in a combination of barrels and stainless steel, with a kiss of new French oak for depth. The result is a remarkably fresh wine with notes of crunchy pears, salty bistro butter, and a whisper of ginger. The mouthfeel is where this wine really comes together with an expert balance between rich fruit and acidity." - 94 PTS., VINEPAIR (05/2025)

“Pouring a bright medium yellow color, the 2023 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast has an elegant savory feel with notes of fresh apples, salted lemon, fresh citrus blossoms, and a delicate suppleness with hints of vanilla spice. The palate remains medium-bodied with a more rounded texture.” - 90 PTS., JEB DUNNUCK

WINERY NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Chardonnay gets a bad rap but when done well it maintains its status as one of the best white wines of the world. Here we start with prime cool climate fruit, preserve its energy through cool fermentations and use of mostly stainless steel and neutral oak. Finally, we give it that final kiss of plushness with a judicious use of new French oak barrels. The result is top notch Sonoma Coast Chardonnay for a very friendly price.”
