Flowers Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast, USA 2024
Chardonnay 2024 is a beautifully precise expression of Sonoma Coast Chardonnay, showcasing the cool-climate elegance that has made Flowers one of California’s benchmark coastal producers. Sourced from high-elevation, ocean-influenced vineyards, the wine opens with pure aromas of Meyer lemon, green apple, white peach, and citrus blossom, layered with subtle notes of crushed stone, chamomile, and delicate baking spice. The palate is taut and energetic, driven by vibrant acidity and a refined mineral core that gives the wine its signature tension and lift. Barrel fermentation and careful élevage add a gentle creaminess and texture without overpowering its freshness, resulting in a Chardonnay that feels both restrained and deeply expressive. Seamless, focused, and impeccably balanced, this is Sonoma Coast at its most elegant, more about precision and energy than richness, with a long, crystalline finish.
