Paso Robles Chardonnay

2005 Paso Robles Chardonnay

The Jankris Paso Robles Chardonnay from the 2005 vintage is a delightful expression of this classic varietal, showcasing a beautiful pale straw color in the glass. Bursting with bright fruit intensity, this wine offers lively notes of green apple and pear, complemented by hints of tropical fruits that provide a refreshing character. The acidity is vibrant and mouthwatering, perfectly balancing the luscious fruit and enhancing its crisp profile. With its medium body, the wine feels rich yet approachable on the palate, while subtle oak influences lend a touch of complexity and creaminess. This Chardonnay is dry, making it an excellent option for food pairings, as it effortlessly complements a variety of dishes while maintaining its elegance and charm.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
