Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

#80 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2020

This food-friendly Chardonnay shows juicy, fresh fruit aromatics and flavors of apple blossom, honeydew melon, guava and grapefruit zest. The creamy texture and rich flavors of toasted oak are framed by a bright acidity that lifts the fruit and leaves a lingering finish that will keep you wanting more.

This wine is the perfect complement to light salads, pasta, and pizzas, as well as shellfish, grilled fish and grilled chicken.

    COMMENTARY: The 2018 Jamieson Ranch Vineyards Reata Chardonnay nicely combines a load of fruit that stays persistent and fresh to the wine's finish. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits appealing aromas and flavors of savory spices and green apples. Pair it with smoked mussels in a creamy pasta dish. (Tasted: September 1, 2020, San Francisco, CA)

    Rich, with flinty and sea salt notes to the dried fig, quince and preserved lemon flavors. Egg cream accents show on the well-spiced finish.

Reata, California

Reata comes from the Spanish word for lariat and lasso. The lasso honors the rich ranching tradition in California and their winemaking philosophy. Just as lassos are woven, Reata wines are woven together through sourcing from exceptional vineyards.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

Sonoma Coast Wine

Sonoma County, California

View all products

A vast appellation covering Sonoma County’s Pacific coastline, the Sonoma Coast AVA runs all the way from the Mendocino County border, south to the San Pablo Bay. The region can actually be divided into two sections—the actual coastal vineyards, marked by marine soils, cool temperatures and saline ocean breezes—and the warmer, drier vineyards further inland, which are still heavily influenced by the Pacific but not quite with same intensity.

Contained within the appellation are the much smaller Fort Ross-Seaview and Petaluma Gap AVAs.

The Sonoma Coast is highly regarded for elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and, increasingly, cool-climate Syrah. The wines have high acidity, moderate alcohol, firm tannin, and balanced ripeness.
