Eighteen Miles Chardonnay
Winemaker Jessica Boone looked to the cool Sonoma Coast for this bright, complex Chardonnay. Light stone fruit, Meyer lemon and appealing minerality on the nose carry over onto a creamy palate balanced by vibrant acidity. Notes of vanilla and sweet oak enhance the wine's complexity. For the wines of Eighteen Miles, Jessica Boone (of Passalacqua Winery) sources grapes from nine distinct appellations all within an eighteen mile radius around Healdsburg, CA.
