Carneros Chardonnay

WINE FIND

by Michael Dresser

So many chardonnays, so few with any real finesse. In a market awash with chardo-mediocrity, Saintsbury has delivered a truly elegant, balanced yet penetrating chardonnay with real depth and complexity.

As with most of the best chardonnays, no single flavor stands out and the oak influence is restrained. Saintsbury scores extra points for making the move to screw caps.
