Ferren Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2022

Matt Courtney is probably better known for his day job making the show-stopping wines at Arista or for his 8-year stint making wines with the famous Helen Turley at Marcassin. As a philosophy student-turned-sommelier, he fell in love with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and has spent the years since finding his own voice in winemaking. In 2013, Matt partnered with his longtime friend David Wherritt and the late grower Ulises Valdez to produce a small handful of wines from the Sonoma Coast that focus on tiny quantities at the highest possible quality level. Native yeasts, high acid, and minimal oak belie the gorgeous ripeness and lush texture of his wines.
