Top-quality Sonoma producer Flowers sourced organically farmed grapes from their estate and other Sonoma Coast vineyards. Pronounced citrus notes, green crab apples, and herbaceousness (thyme) on the nose in this highly aromatic, classic California Chardonnay. The citrus moves to a preserved lemon character on the palate, with pervasive fresh herbs. High acidity gives a backbone to this creamy, varietally-correct Chardonnay. Tension and judicious use of oak showcase quality and intention in winemaking. Pair with a Moroccan chicken tagine.
