Girard Carneros Chardonnay 2021
Chardonnay from Carneros, California
Winemaker Notes
The nose is richly layered with scents of toasted oak, Meyer lemon, white peach and wet stone minerality. Medium weight and creamy textured on the palate, flavors of yellow apple, stone fruit, lemon meringue pie, and hints of sea spray abound, leading to a supple and refreshing finish. Big in its youth, this wine is enjoyable now and will reward those who can patiently cellar it away for a few years.
James Suckling – 91 Points
This is perfumed with notes of yuzu, white peaches, chamomile, jasmine and beeswax. Medium- to full-bodied and lean with sleek texture and crunchy acidity. Juicy, attractive and easy to drink. Drink now.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with spinach and pepper jack stuffed chicken, scallops with a sesame ginger dressing, toasted ravioli served with Alfredo sauce.
