About This Wine


Pleasant Mary

Chardonnay

Mary Ellen Pleasant was a businesswoman and abolitionist who moved from one side of the country to the other supporting those in need. She built a business empire in a time when women rarely worked outside the home and was beloved by the everyday people of San Francisco. This wine has five labels, every one featuring different foliage from the places that Mary Ellen put down roots. The wine comes from the Central Coast of California and has beautiful aromatics that come from cool fermentation. It has robust notes of melon and pineapple that are balanced by bright mineral acidity with hints of vanilla. Try pairing the Pleasant Mary with a sunny afternoon. And it took home Silver at the 2019 Hilton Head Island Wine and Food International Wine Competition and Bronze at the 2019 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.

Pleasant Mary 2017 Chardonnay Central Coast, California

Wine 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.

California's Central Coast appellation is well represented in this wine. Floral aromatics result from a cool fermentation, and are supported by notes of melon and pineapple. All of the floral and fruit flavors are balanced by bright mineral acidity and a hint of vanilla bean.
