2017 Peirson Meyer Sophia’s Vineyard Chardonnay

VIN94 The 2017 Sophia’s Vineyard is bright, precise and wonderfully nuanced. Although labeled as Russian River in appellation, the Sophias emerges from the Russian River’s Green Valley district, where the wines tend to be especially focused. Expressive saline notes give this energetic, finely cut Chardonnay tons of pure class. This is one of the most impressive wines I have tasted from Alan Peirson and Robbie Meyer.
Winemaker Notes: This elegant, multi-layered Chardonnay from Sophia’s Vineyard attains a perfect balance between its acidity and creamy texture. Intertwined in the palate are sweet spice, honey, tangerine oil, and a classic river stone minerality. The mouthfeel has an amazing polish, presence, and viscosity that finishes perfectly focused, leaving a persistent impression on the palate.
