Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Los Carneros is one of the most prestigious Chardonnay growing areas in California, and this wine demonstrates why. The 2014 Los Carneros Chardonnay is rich and elegant with complex aromas of green apple, meyer lemon, baked pear and floral notes. Barrel aging and fermentation in the finest tight grain French oak barrels provides a rich bouquet of butterscotch, toasty vanilla, and nutmeg. The palate is rich and luscious, balanced with bright acidity. Flavors of pear, apple and lemon creme linger on the long, smooth finish.

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.

Carneros Wine

California

Known for elegant wines that combine power and finesse, Carneros is set in the rolling hills that straddle the southernmost parts of both Sonoma and Napa counties. The cooling winds from the abutting San Pablo Bay, combined with lots of midday California sunshine, create an ideal environment for producing wines with a perfect balance of crisp acidity and well-ripened fruit.

This cooler pocket of California lends itself to growing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. Carneros is an important source of sparkling wines made in the style of Champagne as well.
