Alcohol: 12.4%
Grape(s): 100% Chardonnay
Localization: Anderson Valley, Mendocino, California, USA
Tasting Notes: The Savoy Anderson Valley Chardonnay offers an alluring aromatic medley of sun-kissed white peach, fresh guava, lemon zest, and a touch of yellow flowers. The expansive entry moves through the palate, warmed by a tinge of toasted marshmallow and lifted by a light layer of lemongrass. Citrusy acidity elevates the rounded mouthfeel and extends through the long finish, lending the Savoy Chardonnay both immediate charm and lengthy aging potential.
95 points Jeb Dunnuck: “Savory and ripe, there’s a more rounded feel to the Chardonnay Savoy. It pours a medium yellow and reveals aromas of fresh herbs, umami with seaweed, and fresh white flowers. Full-bodied, with a supple texture and notes of ripe pear, green melon, and banana rind, it’s savory and has balanced richness. Drink it over the next ten years.”
The Domain: Eric Sussman first heard the expression radio coteau from a friend while living and working in Burgundy. More than a preference for how you discover these wines, the name reflects a commitment to capturing reflections of soil, seasons, people and place. In 2002, Eric established Radio-Coteau, focusing on the north coast vineyards of western Sonoma County and Anderson Valley. With their benchland locations, well-drained soils, exposure by capricious marine air and fog, these sites host grapes naturally suited to their surrounding elements. This natural selection afforded Eric an opportunity to refine his Old World experiences while working with New World grapes. For more than a decade, he has strived to balance nature’s expression with a delicate, but disciplined human touch in these handcrafted wines.
