2013 Chardonnay
100 In Stock
Wine Enthusiast Review: Grapes are sourced from both Stagecoach and Hyde vineyards in this wine that takes its time in the glass coming around. Funky brine and a tropical flourish open on the nose with a severity of oak that mellows slowly. Made in an opulent, full-bodied style, it'll pair well with buttery fare.

Luscious layered flavors that dance on the tongue and bring a smile to your face. Rich and mouth filling with a long delicious finish. Great with food based on the well balanced acidity, but perfect just on its own.
