The 2016 Chardonnay Freestone Vineyards is rich, bold and luscious. Apricot, orange peel, lemon confit, white flowers, biscuit and honey resonate in this beautifully layered, ample Chardonnay. The Freestone is one of the most dramatic, full-bodied Chardonnays readers will find in this part of the Sonoma Coast.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Freestone (owned by Joseph Phelps) has only gotten better over the years (just look at the scores!!) and this Chardonnay is one of the best EVER, to our palates. Creamy but racy, packed with citrus oils. This is a must, especially at the price!
About the Producer
Joseph Phelps Vineyards is a family-owned and operated wine estate with vineyards and wineries in Napa Valley and on the western Sonoma Coast. The winery was founded in 1973 by Joseph Phelps, a successful construction executive and entrepreneur whose early interest in wine led him to establish vineyards on a 670-acre former cattle ranch in Napa Valley. Over the next 42 years Joe became one of the most respected figures in the California wine industry, building Joseph Phelps Vineyards into a critically-acclaimed winery internationally known for its iconic wines and unwavering commitment to quality. Joseph most notably created the first ever "fanciful name" for his flagship wine Insignia, which had a dramatic effect on the way wine was marketed around the world to this day.
