ORIGINS
Winery: Ojai
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

A voluptuous and full-bodied chardonnay with a substantial presence, this premium single vineyard wine is outlined by a dense golden tinge and a well-rounded smell of apple, pear, pain grille, and toasted almonds. The texture is well-balanced, with a velvety consistency and a contenting finish, but the tastes are somewhat muted and restrained. A wine that benefits from a longer aging period, this chardonnay is a excellent match for voluptuous and savory dishes, uniquely those featuring chicken or flaky white fish. It is a wine that will reward patience and careful consideration.
