90 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Here's a polished Chard with an elegant balance to a variety that often lacks both. Everything is here, from the ripe tropical fruit and rich oak to the crisp acidity and mineral trimmings, all poised in perfect equilibrium.

From the Winery:
2005 was kind to Arrowood. Mild weather throughout most of the season and during harvest led to ripe fruit flavors and good acid levels. The nose for our Sonoma County Chardonnay combines honeysuckle, peaches and apples. The palate is rich and lush with almonds and a touch of vanilla. The wine is well structured and impeccably balanced.

Our 2005 Sonoma County Chardonnay showcases fruit from the Preston Ranch and Alary Vineyards in the Russian River Valley and the Alta Vista Vineyard in Sonoma-Los Carneros. By blending select lots from three different vineyards, each with its own distinct flavor profile, we are able to create a wine with layers of flavors, impeccable balance and great complexity.

Sonoma County is the world's most diverse appellation. From the cold-weather vineyards near the Pacific coastline to the protected sites along the eastern edge of the Mayacamas Mountains, Sonoma County is uniquely qualified to produce outstanding wines from warm- and cool-climate varieties alike. With such variety and range, Sonoma offers winemakers a wide assortment of flavors and textures to utilize when creating regional blends.
