Tasting notes
Coming from the B. Thieriot Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast, the 2018 Chardonnay Eterium is a terrific white offering a rich, opulent style that stays grounded by bright acidity and an impressive sense of minerality. Notes of buttered orchard fruits, honeysuckle, toasted bread, and white flowers all emerge from the glass, and this beauty is medium to full-bodied, has a ton of fruit, bright acidity, and a saline-like saltiness that comes through on the finish. Drink this classy, seriously impressive Chardonnay any time over the coming 7-8 years.

Coming from the B.A. Thieriot vineyard, the 2018 Chardonnay Eterium waltzes out of the glass with lovely apple pie and warm peaches scents followed by spice cake and crème brûlée notions plus a waft of struck flint. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with apple and spice flavors, supported by lively acidity, finishing long with a gorgeous creamy texture. 120 cases were made.
