Winemaking Notes
The 2017 Amici Cellars Chardonnay Sonoma Coast is a classic Chardonnay with aromatic complexity and a fine balance of richness and delicate acidity. Enticing stone fruit, lemon zest and roasted grain aromas lead to a delicious stone fruit-driven palate and a long, mineral finish. It is fresh and lively with a long finish driven by elegance and length.

Reviews
James Suckling
“Sliced apples, pears and lightly toasted oak on the nose and palate. Full-bodied, layered and juicy. Lovely, delicious finish. Drink now.”
Jeb Dunnuck
“There are three Chardonnays released in 2017, all being made by Jesse Fox and all outstanding. A smoking value, the 2017 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast was mostly barrel fermented and spent 11 months in 35% new barrels. It has exotic notes of tart citrus, lychee, and hints of minerality as well as a medium-bodied, balanced, lively style on the palate. It’s well worth the price.”
