An unwooded Chardonnay, offering crisp flavors of apple and citrus. Pairs with chicken, pork, seafood, or light appetizers.
Recommendations: My wife is not a fan of oaked Chardonnay, so when we saw this in the store, we thought we’d give it a try. The initial flavors of the wine are crisp with [...]

Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: California – USA

Very pale coloring is almost misleading due to the big nose and very aggressive flavors of this Sauvignon Blanc from California. Grapefruit is most prominent, but hints of other citrus fruit like lime are also present on the palate. Crisp finish that is the hallmark of this varietal and citrus flavors [...]
