The 2023 Whale Song Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a bold, medium to full-bodied wine with a satiny texture, featuring flavors of spiced pear, apple butter, and ginger, notes of honeysuckle and cedar, and a long, toasty finish. It has a bright straw hue, elegant and refreshing with notes of preserved salted lime, green apples, wet stones, and delicate spice, or as aromatic with lemon blossom, pineapple, quince, and river stone notes. The Sanguis philosophy is to allow the character of the vineyard and vintage to shine through with minimal intervention, including native yeast fermentation. It is noted for its clarity, focus, and electric energy, leading to a refreshing and balanced feel. [145 cases produced]
