Edna Valley has long been a sweet spot for Chardonnay along California’s Central Coast, and the Niven family’s Paragon Vineyard one of the sweetest of the sweet. It shows in the richness, structure and length of this beautiful chard with the beautiful price. Notes of lemon oil, apple and baking spices dominate. The oak is obvious, but it fits with the wine. A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
