Boars’ View Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2018
Fans of BIG, bold and unabashedly buttery (yes!) Chardonnay will adore this ultra-flashy new release. The color resembles liquid gold and the obsession-inducing nectar reminds us of the uniquely hedonistic thrills by Marcassin plus the richness of favorites such as Peter Michael or Aubert’s rarest bottlings. We particularly respect the core of freshness that supports the vibrant fruit such as grilled pineapple, apple strudel, and Summer peach cobbler. That sublime combination reminds us more of a Grand Cru Corton Charlemagne (from a ripe vintage such as 2015) than most California whites. Don’t miss the rare chance to own a few bottles of this dreamy Chardonnay!
