Basking in a well-earned score of 92 points, the Fort Ross Vineyard Chardonnay hails from the breathtaking terrains of Fort Ross-Seaview on the Sonoma Coast. The 2021 vintage delivers a vibrant and complex symphony of flavors, with crisp green apple, honeydew melon, and a subtle hint of vanilla. Its elegance is matched by an underlying minerality, a nod to the coastal terroir from which it originates. This Chardonnay is a delightful companion to a summer seafood feast, particularly shellfish or a creamy lobster bisque. Given the quality and the sheer pleasure it delivers, it’s an astute acquisition that outshines many in its category.
