Natalie's Score: 90/100

A buttery, medium-plus-bodied California Chardonnay from the Sonoma Coast with ripe pear, apple butter, tropical fruit and apple pie spice flavours with a soft lemon curd finish creamy and mouth filling on the palate. The Flowers family was among the first vineyards planted at the edge of the Sonoma Coast in 1991, just three kilometres from the Pacific Ocean. The Chardonnay is fermented as well as matured in French oak barrels. Enjoy now and for the next five years.

Chardonnay food pairings: grilled pork chops, stuffed chicken breast, cheese.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
