Edna Valley's easy-going Golden State Chardonnay is our go-to pour when the occasion calls for an easy left coast white. Benefitting from its unique vineyard situation, located in a valley that enjoys cooling maritime breezes from the west, the Edna Valley Chardonnay displays more brightness and lively acidity than Chards crafted with fruit grown in California's sweltering Central Valley. From the glass, aromas of ripe pear, brioche, and citrus are geared towards maximum juiciness, persisting through round peach flavors and a subtly fruity finish. A serious crowd-pleaser, the Edna Valley is equally at home poolside as a cocktail-like quaff, or tableside with classics like mac and cheese, baked salmon, and chicken pot pie.
