Spearheaded by Noah and Kelly Dorrance of Reeve Wines, BloodRoot is a collaboration among venerated winemakers with great vineyard sourcing who have come together to make value-driven wines that overdeliver in terms of quality. The wines are sourced from multiple benchmark vineyards throughout northern California and reflect the soul of each place; they are made at a quality and price level that makes them absolute no-brainers to drink. (winery notes)

The 2023 BloodRoot Chardonnay has aromas of acacia blossoms, orchard and citrus fruits followed by a medium-bodied palate with flavors of lemon zest, buttered brioche, and vanilla laced with subtle hints of baking spices, ginger, and bright, balancing acidity that brings it to a long, saline-tinged finish.

"BloodRoot is a collaboration between reputable California winemakers to make wines from benchmark vineyard sites across California's North Coast at accessible prices. This Chardonnay gives a cool climate feel that reflects the coastal vineyards it comes from. The wine is aged in a combination of barrels and stainless steel, with a kiss of new French oak for depth. The result is a remarkably fresh wine with notes of crunchy pears, salty bistro butter, and a whisper of ginger. The mouthfeel is where this wine really comes together with an expert balance between rich fruit and acidity."

90 points, Jeb Dunnuck:
"Pouring a bright medium yellow color, the 2023 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast has an elegant, savory feel with notes of fresh apples, salted lemon, fresh citrus blossoms, and a delicate suppleness with hints of vanilla spice. The palate remains medium-bodied with a more rounded texture. It should flesh out a bit with more time in bottle, but it’s perfectly approachable and well-suited to enjoy now as well as over the next few years."
