"This is a widely appealing white with a crisp entry that veers into vibrant nervy energy and freshness. With a buoyant undercurrent to its defined flavors of golden apple and pear, it finishes with just a hint of lemony richness."

"The 2017 Chardonnay Sonoma County was brought up in 10% barrels with the balance in stainless steel. It has some buttered citrus and toasty notes, medium body, a rounded, easy texture, and a good finish. Drink up."
Product Description:
"Like all of our Decoy wines, our Decoy Sonoma County Chardonnay benefits from the passion, skill and experience of our Duckhorn Wine Company team. Exploring the diversity of the Sonoma County winegrowing region allows our winemaking team greater flexibility during the blending process. Stretching from Cloverdale to Annapolis to San Pablo Bay, Sonoma County encompasses an array of microclimates, soil types, elevations, and terroirs, yielding a unique and appealing expression of Chardonnay.
This enticing Chardonnay offers vibrant layers of green apple, white peach and honeysuckle, as well as hints of cinnamon. On the palate, a supple texture from sur lie aging is balanced by bright natural acidity, which adds poise and length to the lush, pure fruit flavors." - Winery
