Sierra Madre Vineyard

2010 Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay

Fess Parker's Sierra Madre Vineyard Chardonnay from the 2010 vintage is a stunning representation of the Santa Maria Valley. This full-bodied white wine showcases a remarkable balance of richness and vibrancy. With bright acidity that invigorates the palate, it presents delightful flavors of fresh stone fruit, complemented by subtle hints of citrus and a touch of minerality. The wine's fruit intensity is prominent, leading to a well-rounded and engaging experience. On the finish, it remains dry, allowing the intricate layers of flavor to shine through while leaving a lingering impression. This Chardonnay is an excellent choice for those seeking a luxurious yet approachable wine that beautifully reflects its terroir.

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.
