Barra of Mendocino Reserve Chardonnay 2021
Aromas of ripe pear, vanilla, banana and warm caramel notes. On the palate, its richness is balanced by refreshing acidity and delicate accents of peach, fresh sourdough, and honeysuckle.

All of the grapes for this wine were estate grown and handpicked from family owned vineyards. The Barra family believes that their organic viticulture practices, coupled with rich soils and cool climate of the Mendocino appellation, make the greatest contribution to the excellence of this wine. Enjoy, and salute!

| This wine opens with an aromatic nose of ripe pear, vanilla, banana and warm caramel notes. On the palate, its richness is balanced by refreshing acidity and delicate accents of peach, fresh sourdough, and honeysuckle. Captivating flavors of caramel, shortbread and stone fruit round out the palate and leave a long, lingering finish. Editor's Choice. |
