| TASTING NOTE: If you want to find out what Sonoma Coast chardonnay is really all about or more importantly what it can be when made in the right way (because there truly is a wrong way) then begin right here. Dave Keatley makes use of some of the finest Sonoma fruit and carefully considers how to coax what combination of it and tension are needed to exercise the finest balance. Let's be clear that it is not just the vintage that makes this Flowers 2015 so special because the track record without fail is impeccable. No, it is the learning curve, the acumen developed and still developing, noted by how exquisite the phenolics, flavours, texture, acidity and tannin are, without exception. This chardonnay is what we all need. Drink 2017-2025. Score - 95 (Michael Godel, winealign.com, June 21, 2017) |
