Expect prominent notes of green apple, pear, and a subtle hint of citrus that tantalize the palate. The wine maintains a delightful balance, making it incredibly food-friendly, and its dryness enhances the overall crispness. This Chardonnay is a fantastic choice for those looking to enjoy a well-structured wine that embodies the terroir of its region.

Region:

Central Coast

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.
