Pressed right up against the Pacific Ocean, the Maritima estate captures the salt-scrubbed essence of the coast in a bottle of California Chardonnay. Mint, bay leaf, and lemon curd dance across a palate alive with mouthwatering minerality and tingly salinity, while the silky midpalate reveals notes of flint and white flowers. Whole-cluster pressed and aged in Burgundian tradition, this wine drinks like a conversation between Sonoma's cool mountains and the sea.
