When proprietor John Sweazey fell in love with the wines of France, he dreamed of recreating the same quality at home in the Sonoma Coast, focusing heavily on Rhone and Burgundy varieties. Anaba's 2019 Chardonnay, a skillful blend sourced from vineyards throughout the AVA, highlights each distinct terroir while contributing to the bottling's balance and elegance. Notes of quince, Bartlett pear, walnut, buttery croissant, and honeyed undertones make this an excellent pairing for chicken Wellington or butternut squash soup. Stock up today for just $19.99 each!

2019 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast
Producer Notes
Highlighting the beauty of the appellation each year, our Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is an artistic blend sourced from distinct areas within the vast Sonoma Coast AVA. Each vineyard location, located within ten miles of the coast, contributes to the balance and beauty of this wine - from the wind-swept regions in the southern end to the cool and foggier regions in the north.
Vintage Notes
The 2019 vintage was a near-ideal season with a late summer and mild temperatures.

The 2019 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast is softly perfumed, with wafts of quince, green pear, baker's yeast, cashew and Greek yogurt. The light-bodied palate offers intense, perfumed fruits and a compelling textural presence, opening to more savory, honeyed tones on the long finish.

Floral, light and lovely, this coastal wine is crowd-pleasing and brimming in stone fruit, apple peel and dried herb. Well-integrated oak and balanced weight keeps it fresh and lively, finishing in fennel and celery root.
