Vintages Wine Panel: This stylish Chardonnay is mostly sourced from the winery’s estate vineyard in the Russian River Valley. Aged in both French and American oak, it’s bursting with melon, citrus and vanilla aromas. It’s dry, full-bodied with a round creamy texture, rich fruit, balanced acidity and well-integrated oak leading to a lengthy finish. My note: Lovely balance: buttery goodness without being too heavy. Aromas of apple, hazelnut and freshly baked bread. Warm and inviting.

Chardonnay food pairings: pan-fried scallops, grilled salmon, pork tender-loin, bouillabaisse.

Reviews and Ratings

E320us rated this wine as 90/100
Mary rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I found this wine available for $10 and for that price it is and I say outstanding because you can’t really find a better California Chardonnay for that price point (retail between $10-$12/bottle). Very balanced in weight, this wine does a nice job integrating oak, vanilla, toast, with balanced lemon, spice and acidity. Seriously, for $10... Yes please!

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.
