NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Carmel Road Chardonnay has a vibrant golden color in the glass.On the nose, aromas of ripe apple, pear and white peach are complemented by toasty oak and a hint of lemon zest. On the palate, the wine is creamy and rich, with bright acidity balanced by a hint of oak and a long, lingering finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Carmel Road
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
