LCBO Text Status
The Sonoma Coast AVA is home to some of the greatest of California's cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Ocean-born fogs and significant variations in aspect and elevation across the region allow for a wonderful range of nuanced, distinctly expressive wines. This one, sourced from the famous Sangiacomo Vineyard, underwent open-top fermentation with indigenous yeast. Expect a complex, refined wine with raspberry and dark fruit tones and a brambly underbelly. Try with cedar-planked salmon, or roast duck. Price $ 29.95
