Natalie's Score: 91/100

A full-bodied, luscious Californian Chardonnay with aromas of freshly baked bread and melting butter, pear, peach and apple. The wine's name refers to the 39th parallel which runs through the heart of California wine country. Try this with fish tacos.

Chardonnay food pairings: roasted chicken stuffed with garlic and herbs, poached halibut with lemon and herbs.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A perfect roast chicken wine. Aromas of golden apple, cooked pears, buttery bread and a hint of caramel. Full bodied and luscious on the palate, with medium acidity and a hint of smoky oak and caramel on the finish.
Rich, medium-bodied wine, hints of oak, lush tropical fruit flavors
