Cattleya 2019 Chardonnay “Beyond the Threshold” Sonoma Coast 97 Points

Another addition is yet another gem to Bibiana’s amazing portfolio.  The meaning/story behind “Beyond The Threshold” – The realm of the gods is a forgotten dimension of the world we know.  And the exploration of that dimension, either willingly or unwillingly, is the whole sense of the deed of the hero.  This Chardonnay single bottling represents Bibiana’s commitment to the craft of exceptional white wines from California, after years of education in France and laser-focused training in making Chardonnay around the world.

Jeb Dunnuck 97 Points: “I loved the 2019 Chardonnay Beyond The Threshold, which comes entirely from the Sonoma Coast. Revealing a light gold hue as well as a captivating nose of crushed citrus, stone fruits, green almonds, and toasted bread, it has a beautiful, Meursault-like richness and nuttiness, medium to full body, nicely integrated acidity, and a great, great finish. It’s another impeccably made Chardonnay from this estate that will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and cruise for a solid decade or more in cold cellars.

Wine Notes by Bibiana: “Delicate notes of white peach, key lime, and acacia transport the sense to the south facing slopes of this high elevation Sonoma Coast side.  Each swirl in the glass allows this wine to gain weight and concentration, as more feminine floral notes transform into subtle flavors of ripe pear and honeysuckle.”
