Our 2020 Chardonnay is smooth, balanced, and confident--the ideal dinner partner. She’s hard to beat, with aromas of lavender and thyme and subtle hints of honeydew and a light acidity to liven things up should the conversation drag. No wonder this wine stays high up on our favorite list -- always dependable, well-dressed, and well-mannered, she’s simply a lot of fun to have around.
