Yosemite View

2008 Monterey Chardonnay

Global Wine Co. Yosemite View is a captivating Chardonnay from the renowned Monterey region, showcasing the innate elegance of this varietal. This white wine presents a bright and refreshing experience, characterized by medium acidity that invigorates the palate. The lush fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful notes of green apple, pear, and a hint of citrus zest, which harmonize beautifully to create a well-rounded flavor profile. On the mouthfeel, you can expect a wonderfully balanced, full-bodied structure, supported by subtle creaminess from careful oak aging. This Chardonnay is dry, making it an excellent choice to complement a wide array of dishes, particularly seafood and light poultry. With its rich heritage and artistry, this wine encapsulates the grace and sophistication of Monterey’s unique 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.
