Rich and bold, this Chardonnay from the Golden State wakes up the senses and reminds you to seize the moment. It’s an energetic golden wine, substantial but not weighty, with generous fruit flavors balanced by dynamic acidity. Rich enough to enjoy on its own, it also marries well in texture and flavor with, say, grilled chicken or perhaps a complex egg-topped Asian rice bowl.
