NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Schug Chardonnay Schug Estate is a vibrant and richly-textured white wine that showcases the best of the cool-climate Carneros region.On the nose, aromas of freshly-baked bread and stone fruit like white peach give way to flavors of ripe apple and nutmeg. The finish is well-balanced and lingers with a hint of minerality. Enjoy this delightful Chardonnay now or over the next two to three years.
