Ferren - Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2021

James Suckling: "Love the salted butter, sliced cooked apple and oyster shell character. Hints of uncooked pie crust. Medium- to full-bodied. So much subtle and intense flavor with some nuttiness. Drink now or hold."

Wine Spectator: " This memorable Chardonnay starts off with a juicy, succulent and silky core of Meyer lemon curd, apricot and ripe melon flavors that show details of oolong tea, backed by hints of brown sugar and salted buttery pastry. The flavor details keep coming, with accents of lemon thyme, dried pineapple and sweet grass, plus a whiff of Buddha’s hand citron on the long, expressive and refreshing finish. Drink now through 2032. 97 cases made."

Jeb Dunnuck: "Bright medium yellow/green-hued, the 2021 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast has a gorgeous, fresh nose of bright flint, delicate oak spice, crystalline starfruit, fresh white flowers, and lime blossoms. Medium-bodied, it’s lovely on the palate, with a fantastic chalky texture and a great finish that gently tapers away. It’s long on the palate and is going to offer a wide drinking window over the coming 8-10 years."

The Wine Advocate: "The 2021 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast has transparent aromas of apricot pit, quince peel, lemon zest and struck flint. The palate offers surprisingly concentrated, layered flavors, delivered in a satiny texture. It’s balanced by firm, focused acidity and has a long, expressive finish."
