2016 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast

Darjean Jones 2016 Chardonnay is aged in the traditional French style, “sur lie,” remaining in contact with the lees throughout barrel aging. This medium-bodied white exhibits flavors of green apple, pear and stone fruit. It has a strong mineral backbone and well balanced acidity. Our Chardonnay goes through full malolactic fermentation, producing a wine with savory hints of brioche and a roundness that makes this vintage very approachable. Enjoy with salmon, roasted poultry, butter cream sauces or simply on its own.
