Amici Sonoma Chardonnay

The 2021 Amici Cellars Sonoma Coast Chardonnay opens with enticing aromas of granny smith apple galette, white flower, and crushed stone that lead into a delicious palate of sweet citrus oil and lemon créme brûlée. This full-bodied, beautifully balanced Chardonnay with lively acidity and a long, mineral stone finish is a classic example of a Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. The 2021 harvest will be remembered as a harvest of rebirth and of achievement for Amici Cellars. With it being our 30th harvest, and after the challenges that 2020 brought, our team was especially looking forward to this vintage.The warmer, drier winter pushed bud break earlier than usual and was followed by a dry but steady summer growing season. Harvest began in mid- August and continued steadily before ramping up in September as the heat rose across the valley. Drought conditions throughout California led to lighter crop yields; however, we are very pleased with the exceptional quality of fruit and resulting wine in the 2021 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay.
