A new California winery will change your mind about Chardonnay
"When a winemaker gets it right, there's nothing like it."
-Esther Mobley, San Francisco Chronicle
"I first encountered Sphaerics as a barrel sample of 2022 Chardonnay. A lot of wines come across my desk, but this one immediately stood out." 97 Points, 2022 Sphaerics "if and only if" Chardonnay
-Erin Brooks, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. California, Sonoma Coast: Sphaerics – New Star Rising
"It's not just the established leaders who are making impressive Chardonnays these days. Winemaker Laura Jones of newcomer Sphaerics is already making her mark with a range of excellent 2023s."
- MaryAnn Worobiec, Wine Spectator. Chardonnay's Cutting Edge.
"The wine offers Grand Cru-like depth and intensity, packed with notes of lime oils, green apples, crushed stones, and fresh flowers. Full bodied, it offers a satin-like texture and a vibrant spine of acidity, with outstanding energy, bright saltiness, and a long finish. Stash this one away for a few years, and it should cruise well over the following decade." 98+ points. 2023 Sphaerics "if and only if" Chardonnay
- Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com. Sonoma: The 2023s and 2022s
"It is a masterpiece of clarity and elegance, reminding me more of the finest parcels of Burgundy than of California... It could be the best California Chardonnay I've ever tasted." 99 points. 2023 Sphaerics "if and only if" Chardonnay
-Jeremy Young. International Wine Report
"This is a truly profound Chardonnay. The depth of fruit and sheer length are astonishing... It's otherworldly - a timeless, classic expression of mountain-grown Chardonnay that you really just need to experience in the glass for yourself." 99 points. 2023 Sphaerics "if and only if" Chardonnay
-Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter
