B Side Chardonnay – A Sure Thing

By: Jon Thorsen Last Updated: January 13, 2020

This Chardonnay brings it’s A game, the Don Sebastiani & Sons B Side Chardonnay.

B Side Chardonnay – A Sure Thing

100% Chardonnay from the North Coast of California. 70% comes from the Watmaugh Ranch Vineyard in Sonoma Valley with the rest coming from Dry Creek Valley, Knights Valley, Napa Valley and Mendocino County.

The wine is aged 12 months in a combination of new French oak (20%), 1-2 year old seasoned French oak and stainless steel. 85% of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation.

The Don & Sons B Side Chardonnay has an SRP of $20 and is available for as low as $17.

From the bottle:

The sound of the needle finding its groove on the B Side of the vinyl reveals the undiscovered hit; filling the room with a soulful vibe and energy.

Our B Side Chardonnay is complex with flavors of crisp apple, citrus and toasted oak notes, capturing the soul of the North Coast region.

14.5% Alcohol

The 2016 B Side Chardonnay begins with a wonderful aroma of pear, apple and lemon cream. Tasting the wine reveals it to be smooth and just a bit buttery but also loaded with fresh and flavorful fruit like pear, lots of citrus, baked apple and more. Medium-bodied with a great mouthfeel and good acidity this is a very well done Chardonnay. Hints of almond lead into the long, satisfying, dry finish that features just a touch of toasty oak under the lingering lemon notes. Highly Recommended.
