About the Wine
The 2017 Overlook Chardonnay was crafted from 35 separate blocks of grapes sourced from 14 uniquely distinct premium Sonoma County vineyards. Working closely with our grower partners throughout the growing season in such prestigious appellations such as the Petaluma Gap, Sonoma Carneros and the Russian River Valley gives winemaker Greg Stach the high-quality fruit this bottling deserves.
