Mer Soleil
Reserve Monterey County - Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay
Monterey County, Central Coast, California, USA
Taking its name from the sea and sun – the two forces of nature that shape its character. Pale lemon, aromas of Stone and tropical fruits, with floral and sweet spice notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach & apricot with lemon zest and toasty vanilla notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice acidity, ending with fruit, vanilla oak and mineral character. Sip’s well now. Pair this with some pan seared white fish.

This is definitely my favorite Pinot. It’s a rich mix of deep red grapes, but not sweet. Very easy to drink. Can drink alone or with any meal.

Tribute to my momma, summer, and reconnecting *in person* with beloved companion. Rich and delicious yet not heavy on the tongue. Fresh, bright. Lovely. (And we don’t usually like Chardonnay).

Bit more lean, angular w/assertive acidic backbone - still sporting some lovely notes of sweet citrus, orchard fruit & papaya. Clean refreshing & bracing - wanted more body & viscosity.

Medium straw in color with a nose of lemon, star fruit, flint, and toast. Medium to full-bodied, well balanced with all elements playing together nicely. Nice, long finish.
