a nice food pairing wine (try with smoked turkey) and a good value. Not as big and peppery as others I prefer

Winemaker Notes – A brilliant medium-full color, the wine shows buoyant aromas of fresh cherry and strawberry, with plenty of wonderful beet root character typical of Pinot Noir.

This Chardonnay is softer and not nearly as big and buttery as many from Carneros.
