Producer & Terroir

This Chardonnay comes from cool-climate vineyards in Sonoma County's Russian River Valley, where Pacific fog and a long growing season help preserve freshness and develop complexity.
Expert Review - Vintage 2023
James Suckling · 91 Points · 2023. Aromas of citrus, ripe pears, baked apples, nuts and a touch of vanilla. The palate is full-bodied with a rounded, fruit-forward mouthfeel and balanced acidity, giving a smooth and generous finish. Good value.
Winemaker Description
Folie à Deux Winemaker. “Indicative of its cool-climate origins, with bright acidity beneath notes of pear, apple, pineapple, apricot, nutmeg and vanilla — all framed by a richly textured palate.”
Pairing & Serving
Try roast chicken, grilled salmon, shrimp pasta or a creamy mushroom risotto. Serve chilled, allowing a little time in the glass for the fruit and spice notes to open.
