Saintsbury Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2023 (750ml) *

Cool ocean influence defines the Sonoma Coast, and it shows in this 2023 Chardonnay from Saintsbury, a California producer working in a fresher, more restrained register than the state's riper reputation might suggest. The maritime pull off the Pacific keeps the fruit lively, and Chardonnay grown in that kind of climate tends toward crispness and clarity rather than weight.
