2010 Mendocino Chardonnay

Baxter Oppenlander Vineyard's 2010 Chardonnay is a delightful white wine that showcases the unique terroir of Mendocino. With its medium-bodied nature, this wine offers a rich mouthfeel that is both satisfying and refreshing. The acidity is bright and lively, perfectly balancing the prominent fruit intensity that bursts with flavors of ripe pear and subtle hints of citrus.

The gentle oak influence provides a soft structure, enhancing the creamy texture without overshadowing the vibrant fruit character. This Chardonnay is truly a wonderful representation of the art of winemaking in Mendocino.
