2019 Coppola Diamond Collection - Sonoma Coast Chardonnay...$12.99

2019 Newton Skyside Chardonnay.....$14.99

This well-balanced wine is medium in weight, lively in texture and offers spicy white-pepper and toast accents along with fresh citrus and crisp apple notes. It's fun, refreshing and won't fatigue the taste buds
Rated 90/100 The Wine Enthusiast

2018 Talley - Chardonnay Arroyo Grande Valley Rosemary's Vineyard...$39.99
was $46.99
Rated 95/100 Vinous Media


2019 Meiomi Chardonnay...$12.99
was $16.99

Meiomi 2019 Chardonnay is a buttery, smoky and full-bodied California Chard from a vintage where grapes were able to hang on the vine a little longer due to cooler sunny days and nights giving the wine a lovely freshness with ripe apple, pear, stone fruit and a mouthful of tropical fruit notes creamy and zesty on the palate. Very nicely done and excellent value at this price point.  Chardonnay food pairings: roast chicken, lobster on buttered toast, cold turkey sandwiches.

2019 Cristom Chardonnay Eola-Amity Hills....$27.99
was $36.99

The 2019 Chardonnay Eola-Amity Hills is characterized by broad, intense flavors foiled by tangy acidity. It offers aromas of apple pie, honeycomb, toast and white blossoms and is intensely flavored, ripe and textural, finishing with energetic freshness

Rated 93/100 James Suckling



2018 Dierberg Chardonnay Santa Maria Dierberg Vineyard...$23.99
was $31.99

A step up over the 2017, the 2018 Chardonnay Dierberg Vineyard offers more purity as well as texture, with similar toasty, richer aromas and flavors. It too is an elegant, medium-bodied, lively Chardonnay that has loads to love.

2016 Mount Eden Vineyards Chardonnay Reserve...$59.99
was $82.99
Rated 97/100 Vinous Media
Rated 93/100 The Wine Advocate

2015 Wayfarer Chardonnay Fort Ross....$59.99
was $87.99

The 2015 Chardonnay Wayfarer Vineyard is flat out gorgeous. Deep, rich and elegant, with melon, citrus rind, brioche and hints of white truffles, this beauty hits the palate with plenty of richness, bright acidity, and a great finish. Coming from goldridge soils, it's a classic, elegant Chardonnay that will be better with another year or two of bottle age and drink nicely for a decade

2019 Rivers Marie - Chardonnay Purrington Rued Vineyard...$49.99
Was $69.99
Lots of exotic chamomile, candied lemon, melon, and pure honeysuckle notes emerge from the 2019 Chardonnay Purrington Reud Vineyard, which comes from a terrific site on the Sonoma Coast. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, it has a wonderful spine of acidity, terrific purity of fruit, and a great finish that brings just a touch of classic Sonoma Coast salty minerality. As with most 2019s, it has a slightly rounded, approachable style that gives it lots of up-front appeal, yet given its solid mid-palate as well as its bright spine of acidity, it should easily evolve for a solid decade.

2016 Arista Russian River Valley Chardonnay...$59.99
was $75.99

Arista Winery was founded in 2002 by Al and Janis McWilliams but is run today by their sons Mark and Ben, who took over the reins in 2012. They’ve brought on board winemaker Matt Courtney, revamped vineyards, and renovated the cellar, all of which appears to have paid off as they’ve fashioned some of the top wines in this report. Readers looking for the next superstar estate are advised to get on the bandwagon. One of the larger production cuvĂ©es is the 2016 Chardonnay Russian River Valley and it comes from the Russian River Valley and spent a year in 20% new French oak. Its light gold color is followed by a beautiful bouquet of honeyed pineapple, white flowers, toasted hazelnuts, and brioche. This beauty is classic Russian River with an exuberant, boisterous, yet pure, and incredibly classy profile

2019 Peay Vineyards - Peay Chardonnay Sonoma Coast...$26.99
was $36.99
Rated 92/100 Vinous Media

2018 Hartford Court Seascape Chardonnay...$59.99
was $71.99

The 2018 Chardonnay Seascape Vineyard was 100% barrel fermented in French oak barrels, 26% new, and aged for 14 months. It needs a little coaxing to reveal restrained notes of lemon meringue pie, lime leaves, struck flint and wet pebbles with touches of coriander seed, orange blossoms and yuzu zest. Medium-bodied, the palate is very crisp, intense and pure with loads of citrus and stone-inspired flavors, finishing very long and zesty. This tight-knit beauty is going to be incredible in another year or two and will drink well for at least 10+ years. 270 cases were made.

2019 Arterberry Maresh - Maresh Vineyard Chardonnay...$54.99
was $64.99

The 2019 Chardonnay Maresh Vineyard was matured for 22 months—16 months in one-year-old Damy barrels and six months in stainless steel. It's deeply scented of roasted almonds, honey and beeswax with perfumed quince fruits and hints of flint and mushroom. Satiny in texture, pure and youthfully tangy, it has tremendous energy and textural presence, and it will continue to develop well in bottle over the next decade.
Rated 96+/100 The Wine Advocate
