Jeb Dunnuck Review Rated 90 The first vintage of the 2023 Chardonnay Sonoma County, it comes from Cougar Ridge, with a splash from Matanzas. The nose opens to notes of fresh chamomile, dewy wet stones, fresh yellow apples, and honied citrus. The palate is fruity and fresh, with a medium to full-bodied frame, and it has a suggestion of sweet citrus and melony fruit along with a clean, silky finish. Drink 2025-2030.
