About This Wine


Butler & Thief

Chardonnay

Our Butler & Thief Chardonnay invites you to steal a delicious moment for yourself. This balanced wine offers creamy textures and toasty oak mingling with zesty citrus notes. It is a tasty example of this grape's impressive versatility, proving that oak-aged Chardonnay is not always buttery. California’s sun-kissed landscape ripens grapes to flavorful perfection, while they are cooled by coastal breezes. After fermentation, oak adds a layer of delectable complexity as caramelly notes join ripe fruit flavors. With its crowd-pleasing palate, our Chardonnay is an excellent go-to pick when you're in a hurry and don't have time to stress over your wine selection. This wine is all about keeping things simple and enjoying the moment. Serve it chilled alongside tangy blue cheese, salty crackers, or fresh fruit drizzled with lime juice.

Wine Region


Lodi

The jewel of the Central Valley, Lodi lies just east of the California Delta in an area of varied terroir. Winemakers here can extract different grape variety expressions from each plot of land. Zinfandel is common here, making deeply fruity and tantalizingly smoky wines, often from old vines. But the deep loamy soils and balmy Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool nights, help keep Lodi's grape varieties and winemaking styles impressively diverse. Alongside the ubiquitous Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Viognier also thrive. Lodi is a melting pot of different grape varieties and winemaking techniques, all of which make it a rewarding region to explore.
