This is a nice value in a ready-to-drink Chardonnay that benefits from just a kiss of new oak influence and acid level choices that give a brightness to the mix of apple and nectarine flavors. The finish is very long and has real push, sending the flavors out into the distance in mouth-watering fashion. For over forty years, Calera has been a label you can’t go wrong with.
