Sonoma Coast, California
Explore a 93 point Chardonnay from sustainable pioneers on the rugged Sonoma Coast
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Flowers
Chardonnay
Flowers Chardonnay is a pure expression of the rugged and extreme Sonoma Coast. Farmed sustainably, fermented with native yeast, and crafted with minimal intervention in the cellar, Flowers Chardonnay is a pure expression of inhospitable terrain. Sourced from a small selection of family-owned vineyards on the Sonoma Coast as well as their Camp Meeting Ridge estate. Each vineyard is carefully chosen for its farming practices, coastal influence, and fruit standards. After spending almost a year in oak, it emerged with scents of fresh flowers, citrus, and a good hint of oak.

WINE REGION:
Sonoma Coast
Stretching along California's raw and rugged northern shores—and reaching quite far inland—Sonoma Coast is the largest AVA in Sonoma County. The proximity to the ocean makes wines here very different from those from more central AVAs. Whether the vineyards are on high ridges above the fog line or warm, fog-shrouded valley floors, the marine soils, low temperatures and cool Pacific breezes slow the ripening of the grapes. The result? Highly structured, delicate wines with plenty of acidity. The main stars here are white peach-tinged Chardonnay and wild strawberry-flavored Pinot Noir, but you will also find some excellent cool-climate Syrah with notes of white pepper and cherry.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Flowers
The Flowers story begins in the early 1980s with Joan and Walt Flowers, a nursery owner in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. On their biannual trips to California to buy seeds and learn about west-coast plants, they would always carve out time to pursue their budding interest in wine. Before long, their passion grew into a dream of owning a vineyard and using their immense agricultural and farming knowledge to produce exceptional wine. Over 30 years ago, Flowers Vineyards & Winery pioneered the growing of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on the rugged coastal ridges of the extreme Sonoma Coast. Joan and Walt Flowers had a simple goal — make exceptional wine that captures the wild beauty of the land and the spirit of the Sonoma Coast. This passion drives everything that Flowers still does — farming responsibly, harvesting by hand, using 100% native fermentation, and crafting wine with minimal intervention. Their unwavering commitment to creating distinctive wines that capture the Sonoma Coast's spirit has been the bedrock of their success.
