Mer Soleil Silver Unoaked Santa Lucia Highlands Monterey Co. Chardonnay 2014
A fantastic unoaked Chardonnay from the folds at Caymus. Monterey County is one of the best appellations in the world for producing Chardonnay. This region benefits from cool morning fog and afternoon breezes that result in a long growing season, producing intense fruit flavors balanced with vibrant acidity. Mer Soleil Silver is a pure, clean expression of our estate-grown Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay. The grapes that go into this Chardonnay are of the highest quality for a number of reasons: the unique climate, our vineyard location on east-facing slopes, vine-to-vine uniformity, low-yields and grapes picked at peak ripeness."

Key-lime and stone fruit with a high acidity - pairs well with grilled scallop.

While I love the rich, buttery nature of most California chardonnays, I realize some people do not. This unoaked one is a great choice for those people. It’s got the depth and complexity of a typical CA chardonnay; however, the lack of the often overpowering butteriness means additional flavors and mineralities are more easily discerned.

Absolutely one of the best Chardonnays I've had. Very reasonably priced. Not a huge white fan normally but this is great. Not oak. Just smooth.
