When white wine is concerned, California is often thought of a hot place, where ripeness is often achieved at the expense of acidity. However there are pockets around the state, as well as careful wine- makers in search of balance.

^hardonnay

Chardonnay from California is often considered the typical style, since the famous judgment in 1976.

These are richer wines with toasty oak often supporting the opulence.

On top of the hill overlooking some of the world’s finest vineyards. Due to the elevation & slope these don’t ripen as much as those at the base of the hill, but in a warm vintage these are excellent, affordable options.
