The WALT Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a blend of Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast vineyards, whose cool microclimates and restrictive soils grow complex, compelling fruit.  This bottling captures this appellation’s vibrancy, ripe tropical and citrus fruits, and incredible persistence.  As with both Walt Chardonnays, they allow optimal ripeness in the vineyard and wait for the evolution of flavor and textural maturity, in balance with vineyard conditions, to realize the wine’s desired flavor profile.  In the winery, they are relentlessly gentle and manage every minute aspect of the process with the utmost care. One of favorite new Chardonnay discoveries!

The WALT Sonoma Coast Chardonnay boasts a deep straw color. Bright, playful aromatics feature tropical fruit and melon, followed by hints of sweet hazelnut and toasted marshmallow. The creamy palate is deep, lush, and overflowing with apricot, pear and citrus flavors, with a penetrating, complex finish that sails on and on.
