94pts James Suckling

Yummy spices like nutmeg, vanilla bean and cloves waft from the glass before rich golden apple, spiced apple, light butter and lemon zest flavors hit the palate. All barrel fermented with native yeast in 35 percent new oak, the wine is mouth-filling but balanced.

Winemaker Notes

The 2022 Amici Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a classic example of a coastal chardonnay. Vibrant aromas of zesty lime, juicy ripe peach, and Asian pear are accompanied by subtle notes of brioche and a delicate wisp of sea spray. The palate offers flavors of crisp green apple, baked pie, and a touch of cinnamon spice, all guided by lively acidity that leads to a refreshing finish.

Winery Notes

Over thirty years in the making, Amici Cellars is a blend of the old and the new. Preserving its legacy and producing wines of exceptional character is the unwavering commitment of proprietors John Harris and Bob Shepard, who attribute success in large part to the age-old adage “nothing replaces hard work,” but also their intuition and ability to capture the most significant opportunity in a decisive moment.
