Rivers-Marie Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2022

Rivers-Marie Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2022 is a beautifully expressive white wine from one of California’s most respected cool-climate regions. Crafted to highlight purity, balance, and the character of the Sonoma Coast, it combines coastal freshness with subtle oak complexity in a way that feels both polished and authentic.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, light-golden color that hints at its freshness and finesse. The nose opens with citrus, green apple, and pear, layered with gentle notes of toasted almond, vanilla, and a delicate mineral edge. On the palate, this Chardonnay is vibrant and well-balanced, with lively acidity, a supple texture, and a long, clean finish. The oak influence is restrained and supportive, adding depth without masking the wine’s natural fruit character. It should drink beautifully now and has the structure to develop gracefully over the next few years.

Production
The grapes come from carefully selected coastal vineyards on the Sonoma Coast, where cool temperatures, ocean influence, and persistent fog help preserve freshness and aromatic precision. Fruit is harvested by hand and vinified with minimal intervention to keep the focus on terroir and natural balance. Part of the fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, where the wine is also aged to build texture and complexity while retaining its energetic core.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay is a versatile partner at the table, especially with seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own. Serve it chilled at 10–12 °C to bring out its freshness and layered aromatics. Decanting is not necessary, but a few minutes in the glass can help the wine open up beautifully.

Producer

The winery has built a reputation for elegant, terroir-focused bottlings from top vineyards in California, particularly in Sonoma and other cool-climate sites. Its careful, minimalist approach has made it a favorite among wine lovers seeking expressive, finely balanced wines with a strong regional identity.
