2022 Cobb Wines - Chardonnay Sonoma H. Klopp Vineyard
2022 Cobb Wines Chardonnay — H. Klopp Vineyard, Russian River Valley
From Cobb Wines’ tiny, single‑vineyard program, the 2022 Chardonnay from the H. Klopp Vineyard on the southern edge of Green Valley delivers cool‑climate precision and an expressive mineral grip that reflects its Russian River Valley roots. Crafted with a light touch in the cellar, this wine lets the vineyard’s natural richness and intricate texture come forward rather than leaning on oak. With only 275 cases produced, it embodies the delicate balance between concentration and effortless poise that Cobb wines are known for.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, a layered bouquet emerges with baked peaches, jasmine, bread dough, allspice, and a flinty sparkle, revealing more nuance as the wine opens. The palate is light‑bodied yet focused, floral and refined, with a silky texture and a long, gently honeyed finish that lingers gracefully.
Terroir & Winemaking
H. Klopp Vineyard sits at the southern edge of Green Valley within the Russian River Valley, a site shaped by near‑constant fog that keeps the fruit cool and preserves bright acidity. The wine’s restrained oak approach honors the vineyard’s natural richness and mineral tension, delivering a Chardonnay that feels transparent to place rather than heavy with perceived intervention.
