Ferren Chardonnay Silver Eagle Vineyard 2016 (95 JD)
“The 2016 Chardonnay Silver Eagle Vineyard is another Sonoma Coast wine from winemaker Matt Courtney that spent a year in one-third new French oak followed by six months in tank. It’s a rich, fleshy, flamboyant beauty that’s loaded with notions of white currants, toasted spice, honeyed pineapple, and white flowers. With full body, moderate acidity, and a huge, fleshy, layered texture, it’s a powerhouse that’s going to drink brilliantly for 5-7 years.”

Sonoma Coast, California
Ferren is a winery dedicated to tiny lots of artisanally made single-vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines from the far Sonoma Coast of California. Each of the vineyards Ferren works with is a jewel of the true Coast, has been hand picked based on its potential for producing profound, age-worthy wines, and is farmed to the highest standards of sustainability and wine quality. The wines are made using traditional Burgundian methods without fining or filtration, and fermentations are carried out exclusively by native flora that arrive on the grapes from the vineyards.
