Meyer lemon and just-ripe mandarin orange mingle with pithy herbaceous notes and a fine mist of green citrus oil. On the palate, savory preserved lemon and a hint of spice complement the backbone of acidity. Briny ocean spray minerality lifts the tightly-knit texture, which expands across the mouth for a vibrant finish.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ecp-html-content\" data-ecp-handle=\"description\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Product description\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ecp-html-content\" data-ecp-handle=\"secondary_notes\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdditional notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVINEYARDS \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOur Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is sourced from our organically farmed estate vineyard, Sea View Ridge, as well as several family-owned vineyards that share our farming philosophy and commitment to highlighting the purity of these coastal sites. This wine reflects the unique characteristics of our estates: coastal influence, topography, and distinctive soils. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe 2024 Sonoma Coast growing season was marked by dynamic weather patterns and was capped with a vigorous finish. After winter pruning, adequate rainfall kept soils saturated through early spring. Budbreak unfolded across the region just as the weather turned, ushering in summer conditional that were very favorable, supporting steady canopy development and shoot elongation. This was a crucial layer of protection for the year's strong and balanced yield, which was shaped by ample mid-season heat that compressed the ripening curve. We were then rewarded with a swift harvest, which was just a month long. The resulting wines bear fresh acidity, savory citrus, and lifted minerality—all characteristics that evoke the very essence of the far Sonoma Coast.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRatings \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91 Points - Vinous Media:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The 2024 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast) is a terrific introduction to the range. Apricot, white flowers, mint, white pepper and tangerine oil are nicely pushed forward. The warmer season yielded an especially forward, open-knit Chardonnay. It's a style that works quite well at this level.\" - Antonio Galloni (Jan 2026)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOUTHERN \/ AMERICAN \/ PACIFIC WINE \u0026 SPIRITS","offers":[{"title":"750 mL","offer_id":53077500068205,"sku":null,"price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0481\/8940\/7391\/files\/z4pr4dnke3xadofi1ivi.jpg?v=1778199966","url":"https:\/\/artisan.wine\/products\/flowers-winery-sonoma-coast-chardonnay-2024-sonoma-county-california","provider":"Artisan W\u0026S","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
