Reserve Monterey County - Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay
Monterey County, Central Coast, California, USA
I’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.

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, from a cooler climate, more hang time on the vine. 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 sautéed white fish with a Beurre Blanc sauce.
