On Sale

COPLAN VINEYARDS Harpsichord Chardonnay, Carneros

Temporarily sold out. Try our Hibou Chardonnay- perfection!
WHY WE LOVE IT:
  • SILVER medal winner - San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
  • True varietal comes shining through like a Burgundian Chard
  • Not too much oak treatment which keeps it crisp too
  • Certified Sustainably and Ecocentric farmed vineyard, tiny 4 acres on the Sonoma side of Carneros

WINEMAKER: Jacqueline Yoakum:  Alumni of Littorai Schramsberg, Keller, Stags Leap Wine Cellars. Consulting winemaker Greggarious, Magnus and Astorie  

AVA DESIGNATED: Carneros, Sonoma

WHAT WE TASTED: A crisp, not buttery Chardonnay with well integrated but not overwhelming oak.  It is juicy with lemon and citrus notes along with peach and pear and almost custard creamy on the mid-palate. Honeysuckle/floral notes with lovely minerality and natural acidity. Beautiful, rich, round mouth feel and lingering finish. Like an Albarino or unoaked Chablis. Let the Chard shine through!

 WHAT WE PAIRED:

  • Paella with fish, mussels and shellfish
  • Sautéed skate wings with a butter caper sauce, lemon rice
  • Homemade spinach gruyere quiche
  • Greek Lemon sauce grilled chicken thighs
  • Lemon ricotta risotto

Winemaking duties have recently been taken over by Jacqueline Yoakum, who is known for wildcrafting wines as natural as can be.
