Check Out the new, super-cool packaging from Mer Soleil/Caymus Vineyards. Sure to be a conversation starter, this bottle was thoughtfully created by the Wager Family to open a discourse on the use of cement vessels during the winemaking process. Mer Soleil Silver Chardonnay is made to capture the pure, clean expression of Chardonnay when it first ripens in the Mer soleil Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey County. The wine expresses natural characteristics derived from the minerals in the soil and tropical elements from the "terroir" of the Pacific coastline. To maintain the fresh fruit character and bright acidity, they fermented the wine in temperature-controlled vats.Winemaker notes: "These ceramic bottles are meant to reflect the cement vessels that we use when fermenting and aging Silver Chardonnay. This wine sees no wood, helping to maintain the bright fruit characters and minerality produced from the chardonnay grapes in our Mer Soleil Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands."

Interesting concept and design, but to me it just tasted and smelled like canned corn... Did anyone else get that?

One of my favorites. Clean and straightforward. Lush and grassy without being cloying. Completely approachable and delicious.
