Hat Strap Chardonnay Sonoma County Coast

Grape:  Chardonnay 

Tasting Notes:  Peach, Pineapple, Brioche, Sage

Fred Cline started Cline Family Cellars in 1982 using fruit from very old vines in Oakley, CA. Fred was one of the original Rhone Rangers and began planting vineyards dedicated to producing wines from various Rhone varietals.

Hat Strap Chardonnay is sourced from Cline's oldest Sonoma vineyard, J. Poppe, located on the winery’s estate in the Los Carneros AVA. The area is cool and distinctive, known for producing grapes and wine of great concentration.  It's rich, medium plus in body and round with bracing acidity. The creamy smooth palate conveys flavors of golden apple, peach, pineapple, lemon zest, butterscotch, macadamia nut, herbs, and toast. The finish is long and savory. Lovely with Shellfish, Manchego & Parmesan, Squash & Root Vegetables, Chicken, Turkey, Crab & Lobster,
