Domaine Anderson’s 13.7 acres of Chardonnay vineyards span from the warmer, up-valley Boonville area to the cooler regions closer to the Mendocino coast. They reside on the valley floor, gently sloped knolls, steep hillsides, and offer soils ranging from rocky, river gravels to the finest clay loams. Domaine Anderson's Chardonnay is made from grapes sourced exclusively from its own Anderson Valley vineyards, giving the winery complete control over farming practices and stewardship of the land.
Aromas of tangerine peel and grilled peaches with hints of lime. The palate has crisp, focused acidity with Meyer lemon flavors and baked apples. The wine has depth, energy and balance completed with a long and refreshing finish.
91 Decanter A textural Chardonnay with crystalline purity and plenty of tension to balance out the rich fruit flavours. Wet river stones, a saline brightness, white flowers and springtime herbs are interlaced with apricot, white peach, and lemon oil on this medium-bodied, expressive Chardonnay. Organically farmed grapes are hand-picked at night from three estate-grown and organic vineyards in Anderson Valley, near the towns of Boonville, Philo and Navarro along the Navarro River. Whole-cluster pressed, the grapes were allowed to fully oxidise before racking to barrel off the gross lees. Entirely barrel-fermented and aged 10 months in oak, of which just four percent is new.
90 Wine Enthusiast Light, delicate and steely, this Chard is driven by its fresh fruit and high acid. Fun and refreshing, it's the perfect pairing to your favorite seafood dish. Find notes of lemon, lime, cut grass, lawn daisy, Granny Smith apple, Bartlett pear, chamomile blossom and a sea-salty breeze.
