Replica - Coles Valley Vineyard Chardonnay 2020 (750ml) FruiliFrom the soil we work, to the grapes we grow, to the way we bottle, Replica produces wines that are pure, natural, and full of complexity, just as Mother Nature intended.

reminds me more of blend of Cornas and Côte Rôtie

the 2022 vintage is abundant and high quality

while hibiscus and shortbread cookie bring additional richness

2018 was joyously tranquil

with ancient volcanic influences

Owner: François Chainier

Soil type:

Merlot is the key grape that takes up close to 65% of all the vines in the appellation

It offers aromas of ripe cherries and blackberries laced with spring florals

Black in color

and fresh thyme aromas – all hallmarks of great cool-climate Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir – with deeper notes of star anise and sumptuously soft French oak
