Winemaker Notes

Santa Ema Chardonnay Reserva is a bright golden yellow colored wine that comes from the Leyda Valley. A bouquet of ripe tropical fruits emerges, such as bananas and passion fruit along with touches of honey and vanilla. In the mouth, it is a wine of good balance and pleasant acidity.

Ideal to go with oily fish and sauces, seafood and grilled crab. Also ideal for white meat and mature cheeses.

Professional Ratings

    Ripe and rich, with apple tart, baked pear and lemon meringue flavors, backed by plenty of fresh acidity. The buttery finish is long and well-spiced.
  • 89
    An impressive effort, the zesty 2014 Santa Ema Reserva Chardonnay makes its way onto the palate with fine richness and excellent fruit ripeness. The wine's ripe apple and light touch of oak make it delicious treat. Pair it with steamed crab. (Tasted: September 27, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

An officially recognized sub-zone in the southern part of the San Antonio Valley, the Leyda Valley was the original settlement of the wine pioneers who came to the area in the 1990s. They were in search of cooler and wetter growing conditions—as compared to more eastern, drier and often warmer locations.

Planting, which began only in the late 1990s, focused on Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot noir and some limited spots for Syrah. The area continues to receive well-earned accolades for wines of these varieties.
