Gold Medal Wine Club Exclusive Selection! The Mayen Creek 2005 Chardonnay Reserve is produced exclusively from hand selected blocks of some of the best vineyards of Santa Lucia Highlands region of Monterey. The cool pacific fog covers the vineyard until overpowered by the unyielding California sun in the early afternoon. The combination of cool mornings and warm afternoons allow the grapes to attain full ripeness without sacrificing a well balanced acidity. The Mayen Creek 2005 Reserve Chardonnay offers a soft core of pineapple-pear notes with hints of toasty vanilla oak supported by just the right amount of acidity. Refreshingly crisp and clean, it is a Chardonnay for all occasions.
