Winemaker Notes
The 2022 Amici Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a classic example of a coastal chardonnay. Vibrant aromas of zesty lime, juicy ripe peach, and Asian pear are accompanied by subtle notes of brioche and a delicate wisp of sea spray. The palate offers flavors of crisp green apple, baked pie, and a touch of cinnamon spice, all guided by lively acidity that leads to a refreshing finish.

About Amici
In the 1990’s, a group of friends with a passion for good wine and fun times together crushed a few tons of grapes in the Napa Valley for their personal cellars. The resulting wine was so well-received that they started producing wine the very next year to share with the public. They chose to name the wine, appropriately, Amici (“friends” in Italian).
Amici’s owners — John Harris, Bob and Celia Shepard, and Bart Woytowicz—are all great friends with a passion for making and enjoying great wine. At Amici the focus is on quality, not quantity. Because they insist on keeping the production small, they can carefully control the process of creating each wine, crafting what they like to consider a small work of art in each bottle.
What started as a few friends crushing some grapes for fun is now an award-winning premium wine known around the country, but one thing will never change: Amici is a wine created by friends, for friends.
