WINE DESCRIPTION

Undoubtedly, the renowned Durell Vineyard stands among California's most celebrated Chardonnay crus, nestled in the Sonoma Mountain foothills, a short distance northwest of Coteau Blanc. Encompassing Carneros, Sonoma Coast, and Sonoma Valley, the vineyard boasts well-drained, cobbled soils on sloping, relatively steep terrain. Oriented to the southeast and southwest, the vines bask in the daytime sun. This terroir imparts a tangy streak of minerality, distinctly reflected in the wine, allowing the characteristics of the vineyard soils to shine through.
