To me there is nothing more refreshing on a hot summer's day than a freshly chilled bottle of white wine. The package that unfolds on your palate from the 2006 Fantesca Chardonnay Los Carneros District is surprisingly light while complex and fulfilling. Expressing aromatic tones of grapefruit, lime and pineapple with a vanillin barrel overtone this chardonnay has both crispness and warmth. Be sure to take your time and enjoy this wine taste by taste as it will evolve within the glass. Refreshing, satisfying and perfect on its own or paired with a food this limited production is a great choice for $45.
