Chardonnay 'Sonoma Coast', Peay Vineyards 2019

The 2019 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a blend of 80% Peay Estate and 20% Searby fruit from Occidental in the southern West Sonoma Coast. The nose features youthful high-toned notes of crème brulée, biscuit, pear, and resin that interplay with a floral aroma typical of Peay Chardonnay. With a year or two more in bottle, these aromas will coalesce and move to the background allowing the citrus and stony aromas to lead as they have in the 2017 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay.

The mid-palate is silky without heaviness and emphasizes mineral flavors leaving a slightly salty after-taste
