McIntyre Vineyards farms in the Santa Lucia Highlands, one of California's premier cool climate appellations, and this Chardonnay is a polished expression of that coastal terroir. Elegant orchard fruit and citrus mingle with toasted oak, vanilla, and a creamy yet vibrant texture, finishing long with lemon zest and lightly toasted almond. We chose it for the way it balances richness and bright acidity, a sophisticated white that rewards both everyday meals and special occasions.
