This is the second year this wine has been made from grapes grown at the Martinelli Charles Ranch, set at high elevation and only two miles from the ocean. Freshly cut pear, anise and integrated oak arise from the glass, highlighting a seamless texture, crisp acidity and structured length.

The 2018 Chardonnay Fort Ross-Seaview is another classic wine, offering ample honeyed orchard and lemon-like fruits, medium-bodied richness, a bright spine of acidity, and a great finish. Just textbook Sonoma Coast goodness, it's ideal for drinking over the coming 5-7 years.

A glistening and fresh style, with minerally cut to the pippin apple and Asian pear flavors. The lightly spiced finish lingers with hints of dried tarragon. Best from 2022 through 2026. 4,700 cases made.

The 2018 Chardonnay (Fort Ross-Seaview) pulses with energy. A vibrant, finely cut Chardonnay, the Fort Ross-Seaview bottling is so impressive. Crushed rocks, lemon peel, mint and white pepper are finely cut in this super-expressive, translucent Chardonnay from David Ramey.
