Betty Jean

2011 North Carolina Chardonnay

The Saint Paul Betty Jean is a remarkable 2011 Chardonnay hailing from the picturesque region of North Carolina. This white wine showcases a medium body that beautifully balances its vibrant acidity, adding a refreshing quality to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, exhibiting delightful notes of ripe apple, pear, and a hint of citrus, which mingle harmoniously on the palate. With a subtle creaminess, this wine also reveals a touch of oak, enhancing its complexity without overwhelming its delicious fruit character. The dryness is perfectly calibrated, making it an exceptional choice for a variety of occasions, whether enjoyed on its own or paired with seafood dishes or creamy pastas.

From rich and powerful California Zinfandel to spicy Oregon Pinot Noir, and from full-bodied Washington Merlot to aromatic New York Riesling, the wines of the United States are nearly as diverse as its population. People have been making wine in North America from European vitis vinifera vines since the first French settlers arrived in the 1500s. Progress stalled along the way by pests and diseases that the vine had never encountered in its homelands, but today wine is produced in all 50 states. With more than 260 AVAs to discover, each with its unique climate and landscape, wines of the United States have much to offer.
