More about the 2021 SIXTEEN BY TWENTY SONOMA COAST CHARDONNAY: Born from the meeting point of art and terroir, Sixteen by Twenty’s very name nods to an artist’s most balanced canvas dimension, reflecting the philosophy that defines every detail of its creation: harmony between richness and restraint, texture and tension, precision and beauty. Crafted by vintners David and Karen Dunphy, whose twin passions for fine art and meticulous viticulture converge in this wine. Sourced from two windswept vineyards along the cool Sonoma Coast, the 2021 vintage captures its origin with striking clarity. Old Wente contributes its hallmark aromatic depth and golden fruit, while Clone 6 lends vibrancy and structure. The result is a seamless interplay between ripeness and restraint, with each vineyard adding a distinct brushstroke of character. Fermented and aged for eleven months in French oak, the 2021 Chardonnay finds its center between richness and poise. The oak is perfectly measured, an accent rather than a frame, allowing the wine's natural texture and energy to shine through in a finish that feels both graceful and enduring.
