The 2024 Flowers Vineyards Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a beautifully balanced Sonoma Coast Chardonnay sourced from select family-owned vineyards, including the renowned Camp Meeting Ridge Estate. Influenced by the cool Pacific Ocean, the wine is crafted to highlight purity, freshness and coastal minerality. The nose is vibrant with aromas of Meyer lemon, pear and white peach, complemented by notes of green citrus oil, white flowers and wet stone.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky texture, bright natural acidity and refined elegance. Flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and preserved lemon are layered with subtle spice and a saline mineral edge, leading to a long, crisp and energetic finish. The cool-climate fruit and restrained winemaking create a Chardonnay with exceptional precision and balance.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a refined California Chardonnay with freshness, texture and coastal character. Pair it with grilled lobster, seared scallops, roast chicken or creamy seafood pasta. Enjoy now for its vibrant fruit and mineral purity, or cellar for 6–8 years to gain additional complexity while retaining its lively acidity.
