West Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2021 Peay Vineyards

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (92)

Now utilizing the recently approved West Sonoma Coast appellation (the label used to simply read "Sonoma Coast"), the 2021 Chardonnay West Sonoma Coast has fresh, pure aromas of red apple, bread dough, jasmine and almonds. The light-bodied palate is focused and energetic, with a pleasurable, balancing creaminess to the texture and a long, biscuity finish.

The 2021 Chardonnay (West Sonoma Coast) is superb. Bright and effusive, the 2021 is a fabulous introduction to this range. Lemon confit, pastry, white flowers and a kiss of new French oak are nicely pushed forward. This mid-weight, nuanced Chardonnay is pure class.

The 2021 Chardonnay West Sonoma Coast is a bright youthful hue and delivers elegant aromas of fresh flowers, white peaches, sea spray, and soft floral citrus. Medium-bodied, it displays good roundness and delicate spice, with fresh saline minerality, Meyer lemon, and ripe pear. It’s supple and inviting, with a good, refreshing feel, and touch of almond on the finish. Drink it over the next 10 years. This is the first vintage with the appellation printed on the label.
