A juicy, generous, luscious Californian Chardonnay with seductive aromas of golden apple, toffee and peach. The 2016 vintage of the Ghost Pines Chardonnay is made from grapes grown in three regions, including Monterey County, Sonoma County and Napa Valley. Pair this terrific wine with roast chicken or turkey.

Chardonnay food pairings: buttered popcorn, roast chicken, lobster in butter.

Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Ghost Pines is made from 100% Chardonnay, but from three different winegrowing regions: 53% Monterey County, 32% Sonoma County and 15% Napa - regions that are highly renown for their succulent Chardonnay. This bright golden 2016 Chardonnay offers warm aromas of yellow apple, banana, mango, creme brulee, salt, butter and oak. Full bodied with a long creamy finish that will please the buttery and oaky Chard lover from the first sip. Mango, pear, yellow apple, salt, burnt caramel, vanilla, butter and oak will coat your mouth. The Ghost Pines Chardonnay 2016 is a charming crowdpleaser. Enjoy.

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.
