"The 2007 release of our Sonoma Coast Chardonnay bursts with vivid citrus and fresh green apple aromas, laced with subtle notes of honeysuckle and clove. On the palate, flavors broaden into rich spiced apple and crisp lime zest, with vanilla and caramel tones adding richness and texture on the finish." - Melissa Stackhouse, La Crema Winemaker

"There are slightly more than 545,000 cases of the 2007 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast, which offers up aromas of orange blossoms, lemon oil, and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied with crisp, fresh fruit, a subtle touch of oak (9% is barrel-fermented), a long, pure finish, and fashioned by winemaker Melissa Stackhouse, this impeccably made Chardonnay should provide enjoyment over the next 2-3 years.
This Chardonnay / Pinot Noir specialist should receive rave notices from bargain hunters looking for a top-flight Chardonnay that is complex, rich, and widely available." -Rated 90, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Dry on the finish, but lush in smoky oak and pineapple meringue and custard flavors, this is a rich, flamboyant Chardonnay to drink now. — S.H. (9/1/2009)" -Rated 87, Wine Enthusiast

"Pushy elements of sweet oak and toast lead the way here and tend to overshadow a slightly lesser measure of ripe-apple fruit. Rounded and rich and a touch coarse at the end, the wine has plenty of palatal weight, yet its slight lack of fruit holds it back from higher scores." -Rated 86, Connoisseur's Guide to California Wines
