Schug Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2015

The Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is produced with minimal use of new oak, which allows the bright varietal character to shine through. It was harvested from select vineyards located in the Sonoma Coast appellation, including the cooler microclimates of western Carneros, southern Sonoma Valley and the Petaluma Gap. It has a spicy apple aroma with hints of nutmeg and cream. Silky textured, it has delicate flavors of fresh fennel, pear and ripe apple.
Try it paired with aged cheeses such as Gouda or Manchego, or with delicate seafood dishes, soups and pastas.

Youthful, yet lush and voluptuous on the palate, this balanced wine shows a sublime layering of peach and tropical vanilla with hints of spicy nutmeg and fennel. The oak is subtle and supportive.
