Walt Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2020 is a Sonoma County Chardonnay from Walt Wines, at 14.5% ABV.
It opens with juicy pear, creamy vanilla, lemon, honeysuckle and a hint of nutmeg.
The palate is plush and flavorful, with a long finish kept lively by fresh acidity.
Jeb Dunnuck rated the 2020 vintage 90 points, noting honeysuckle, fresh pear, lemon pastry, candied green apple and baking spice.
A generous, polished white for the dinner table or a gift.
Good wine rewards a little care in serving. Whites and rosés show best chilled to around 45 to 50°F, while reds are at their most expressive slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F. Opening the bottle and letting it breathe for a few minutes, or pouring it into a decanter, helps the aromas open up.
