This is my twenty-second vintage of making SOLITUDE Chardonnay. Over this period the wine has developed a reputation for consistency and value. As always our grapes came from four ranches within the Sangiacomo Family Vineyards just south of the Town of Sonoma. This wine exhibits the classic character of the Carneros. Tropical fruit, ripe pear and coconut aromas are complimented by a seamless integrated mouth feel and a long-lasting smooth finish. Enjoy!
