Robbie Meyer is a Rockstar winemaker. Robbie has spent over 25 years living in Napa, making wine for top producers such as Peter Michael and Lewis. Back in 2001 Robbie was enjoying a bottle of wine with Alan Peirson the former vineyard manager for Peter Michael. Together, they brainstormed the idea of joining forces to create their own label. With a little help from their wives, they came up with a name and logo for their brand by sketching it on a cocktail napkin. That fall in 2001, Peirson Meyer was born!

Winemaker Notes: This elegant, multi-layered Chardonnay from Sophia’s Vineyard attains a perfect balance between its acidity and creamy texture. Intertwined in the palate are sweet spice, honey, tangerine oil, and a classic river stone minerality. The mouthfeel has an amazing polish, presence, and viscosity that finishes perfectly focused, leaving a persistent impression on the palate.

Sophia's Vineyard - Warren Dutton planted this 7 acre vineyard in the 1970s using the Old Wente Clone without rootstock. Located near Graton, the well-drained Goldridge soil has kept these vines healthy and productive. On a gentle north facing slope that protects the fruit from the hot afternoon sun, the vines are trained on a vertical trellis (VSP).

The 2021 Chardonnay Sophia's Vineyard is generous and ripe without verging into tropical tones. It calls you into the glass with its expressive scents of poached apples, buttered brioche, honeycomb, toast and matchstick. The medium-bodied palate is savory and concentrated with a satiny texture, a bright spine of acidity and a long, layered finish.
