Description
People who are new to wine often ask questions along the lines of, 'What is a good wine, there are so many?' One very simple piece of advice for narrowing your focus is to become familiar with what regions produce excellent examples of particular wines, such as California's Sonoma Coast for Chardonnay. Crafted under the watchful eye of Elizabeth Grant-Douglas, La Crema's director of winemaking (and a Canadian to boot), this wine has all the classic Sonoma hallmarks of citrus and ripe orchard fruit along with toasty oak and refreshing acidity. It's a delicious place to start your exploration.

Tasting Notes
This very typical modern California chardonnay is consistent from year to year. The oak treatment is on the modest side and deftly done with just enough sweetness to give richness and though the fruit is ripe, it is not overripe. The nose shows pineapple and baked apple fruit with oak spice, nutmeg and vanilla tones. It is midweight to full and well balanced with very good length. Try with roast veal, rich mature cheese or bbq chicken. Tasted May 2021. Score - 90. (Steve Thurlow, winealign.com)
