2016 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay “The 2016 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay offers a great intensity of fresh, pure apple and white peach aromas with hints of baker’s yeast and allspice plus a waft of honeysuckle. Medium to full-bodied and delivering mouth-filling stone fruit and spice flavors, it has a satiny texture and great length. Totally over-delivers at this price point!” – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate “The fruit is cool and delicious, a zesty flavor of pear and loquat. Oak brings a slight sawdust tone to the wine until it integrates into the fruit and brings out the umami richness, like the savor of chicken broth. Chill and decant it for roast chicken.” – Josh Greene, Wine & Spirits 2016 Russian River Valley Chardonnay “A muted nose of toasted oak and brioche leads to an expansive and fleshy midpalate of apple and peach in this moderately structured, medium-bodied and balanced wine. The finish is lingering and vibrantly bright in acidity.” – Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast “Smoky, toasty oak adds flavor and texture, joining zesty pear, melon, green apple and honeydew notes, ending with a tapered finish that brings all the elements together. Drink now.” – James Laube, Wine Spectator 2016 Wildcat Mountain Vineyard Chardonnay “Steve MacRostie planted this vineyard in 1998, at elevations rising to 700 feet in the Petaluma Gap. The soils are volcanic, the cool winds and fog accounting for the crunchy brightness of this wine’s flavors. It has the white-flower scent of fresh cream, that creaminess incorporated into the elegant texture. The ripe lime flavors last with the blue-sky clarity of the coast.” – Josh Greene, Wine & Spirits “The 2016 Wildcat Mountain Chardonnay delivers notes of white peaches, ripe Golden Delicious apples and Bosc pears with hints of allspice, shaved almonds and chalk dust. The palate nails it with intense yet elegantly played apple and pear flavors, accented with plenty of toast and spice, and gives a long, refreshing finish.” – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate 4605 Westside Road, Healdsburg, CA 95448 | 707.473.9303 | MACROSTIEWINERY.COM Chardonnay Press Highlights 92 Points 91 Points 91 Points 90 Points 94 Points 92 Points
