About This Wine


Fifth Note Cellars

Chardonnay - Viognier

Fifth Note Cellars blends are crafted from specific varietals and regions to enhance the flavors, spices, sauces, and herbs in your favorite recipe or next meal. This Chardonnay combines the richness and complexity of grapes from the foggy Russian River with the lively acidity and finesse that comes from the exquisite vineyards of the Sonoma Coast. Viognier from the warmer Lake County provides a unique lift and aromatic complexity to this modern classic. The palate has a rich and creamy texture held together by the firm acidity from two cool-climate growing regions. We call it power and poise in a glass. See the back label for more detailed pairings. Judges love it too! It has taken home a Silver Medal from the 2020 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and the 2020 Winemaker Challenge.

Wine Region


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

  • A figure representing the Spices tasting note. Spices
  • A figure representing the Tropical Fruit tasting note. Tropical Fruit

A well-rounded texture with firm yet not overpowering acidity makes this wine a beautiful option for all white wine lovers. Chardonnay from foggy Russian River Valley brings a classic palate of stone fruit and orange blossom flavors with warm rich brioche aromas, while Viognier from warmer Lake County offers tropical citrus, mango, and honeysuckle notes. Pair with foods featuring creamy palettes, light herbs, or garlicy flavors!
