Cleary Ranch Chardonnay 2018
Sonoma Coast
Downslope from his father's Freestone Hill Vineyard, John Cleary and his family have their own parcel of West Sonoma Coast vineyard land: this 6-acre plot. Ernest has leased and farmed this site since 2015 which, as our coldest vineyard, is a challenging task in even the best years.
Starry pale-yellow in color, cool-climate characteristics on the nose, including precisely focused pear, citrus and mineral. Decadent with juicy notes of baked apples, a touch of oak, and creaminess, but matched with acidic, youthful vibrancy
