About the wine
Luxuriously rich and creamy 2015 Chardonnay from a single top-tier Sonoma vineyard
- This 2015 Chardonnay is steeped in fresh, fruity layers of mango, pineapple and golden apple, balanced by a generous richness and long, lingering, creamy finish thanks to a luxurious bit of barrel-fermenting in French oak.
- The famed Durell Vineyard sits in the southern end of Sonoma Valley, where a mix of cool afternoon breezes and warm, sunny days help high-end Chardonnay grapes develop with an intense, signature fruitiness that gracefully unfolds in your glass.
- Winemaker Jeff Gaffner started Saxon Brown to champion stunning sites like the Durell Vineyard with limited production wines. With Angel support, now Jeff can bring his single-vineyard treasures to a whole new world of eager wine lovers!
Best before
This top-notch Chardonnay is ready to be enjoyed on arrival and will also age well for up to 5-7 years.
Serving advice
Simply give the wine a few minutes to breathe and open up after first opening your bottle. Then enjoy!
Food match
Baked salmon with garlic and lemon is always a sure bet for a Chardonnay this delicious.
