Wine Review: This stainless steel golden straw colored Chardonnay from Chamisal opens with a pleasing citrus fruit bouquet that includes notes of cantaloupe and wet stone. On the palate, it is light bodied, lively and fresh. I enjoyed its fruit flavors which included lemon lime, tangerine and hints of pear. The lively palate and its balanced minerality was the highlight of this Central Coast Chardonnay. The finish was nice, semi-dry and crisp. I would pair this Chard with baked scrod. – Joe

Winemaker Notes: Tropical notes of juicy Satsuma, ripe kiwi and mango are highlighted by aromas of candied lemon peel, apple blossom and refreshing minerality. The palate supports the nose, revealing the Stainless winemaking with its round, weighty mouthfeel. Crisp acidity and flavors of white nectarine, papaya and key lime pie round out the clean, lingering finish.
