2021 Chardonnay - C.S. Ridge Vineyard, Sonoma Valley

This vibrant beauty is a mineral driven vineyard designate crafted from our estate vineyards in the Sonoma Valley. Aromas of golden apple, cinnamon and pear are framed by rich acidity, showing hints of apple, caramel and vanilla wafer on its crisp finish.

Winemaker’s Comments: “Kunde Family Winery is home to one of the most diverse properties in the Sonoma Valley, with dramatic elevation changes and a diversity of slopes and soil structures. Its physical location in the heart of the Sonoma Valley offers a surprising contrast between vineyard sites. This wine was crafted from the C.S. Ridge block, where the vines awaken early in the spring and remain ahead in maturity compared to the rest of the estate Chardonnay blocks. The acid that the grapes maintain is the key to the bright and chewy fruit this wine offers.”
