WINE DESCRIPTION

Hunnicutt Chardonnay is a masterful expression of cool-climate winemaking, born from the historic Mill Station Vineyard in Sonoma County's coveted Green Valley. Crafted by proprietors Justin and Seana Stephens alongside renowned winemaker Kirk Venge, this Chardonnay captures the best of both the Sonoma Coast and Russian River AVAs. Nestled in a unique microclimate, the vineyard balances sunny days and cool coastal breezes, preserving vibrant acidity while allowing layers of flavor to develop. After meticulous harvest and fermentation, the wine matures for 16 months in 100% French oak, with a judicious 33% new oak, delivering depth and elegance. Steeped in legacy and passion, Hunnicutt Chardonnay embodies the harmonious dance of tradition and exceptional terroir.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Hunnicutt Chardonnay is a delightful and elegant wine that showcases the best qualities of the Chardonnay grape.It displays a beautiful golden color in the glass, with aromas of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, along with hints of vanilla and toasted oak. On the palate, this wine offers a rich and creamy texture, with flavors of ripe pear, apple, and citrus, complemented by a subtle touch of butter and a refreshing acidity. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant impression of fruit and oak. Overall, the Hunnicutt Chardonnay is a well-balanced and complex wine that would pair wonderfully with seafood dishes or creamy pasta.
