2023 Siduri Chardonnay Sonoma County

The Cougar Ridge Vineyard, located on Stonestreets rugged and wild Alexander Mountain Estate, was selected as the primary source for this Sonoma County Chardonnay due to its incredible range of soils, elevations, and aspects. The vines snake their way around terraced blocks, rising 650 feet above the valley below. The variability of flavors and maturity around these terraced blocks provide a broad spectrum of bright flavors and a backbone of minerality that shines through the bright finish.

90 Points – Jeb Dunnuck: The first vintage of the 2023 Chardonnay Sonoma County, it comes from Cougar Ridge, with a splash from Matanzas. The nose opens to notes of fresh chamomile, dewy wet stones, fresh yellow apples, and honied citrus. The palate is fruity and fresh, with a medium to full-bodied frame, and it has a suggestion of sweet citrus and melony fruit along with a clean, silky finish.
