2021 Kerr Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
Available
93 Points- James Suckling
The 2021 Kerr Cellars Chardonnay has a vibrant nose of lemon curd, brioche, apricot, honey, and almond. The silky entry opens to a sumptuous and broad mid palate, with flavors of lemon zest, almond, pastry, and a touch of honey. Bright and well-integrated acidity carries the palate and drives a long, mineral finish.

An incredibly complex wine for the price point. Well balanced and should please a wide variety of consumers, while still offering something enticing for the connoisseur. This wine comprises two unique Sonoma Coast properties, one our furthest east, the other our furthest west. Together in this wine they create a beautiful harmony. Keep an eye out for single vineyard offerings from these sites in the future!
