Mer Soleil
Reserve Monterey County - Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay
Taking its name from the sea and sun – the two forces of nature that shape its character. Pale lemon, aromas of Stone and tropical fruits, with floral and sweet spice notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach & apricot with lemon zest and toasty vanilla notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice acidity, ending with fruit, vanilla oak and mineral character. Sip’s well now. Pair this with some pan seared white fish.

Sep 30th, 2023I’d only had their unoaked Chard until now. Turns out they are good at both. There’s so much minerality and a sublime smoothness and I imagine sipping Orangina in the sun by a pebbly brook.

Jun 14th, 2023Some zesty fruit married to an oak tree. Not subtle. My Chardonnay preferences are definitely changing over time and this one is very yesterday.
