Rich and creamy Russian River Chardonnay with spiced pear fruit and juicy accents of fresh butter and cream. Hard to resist for fans of more full-bodied Chardonnay!
Jim Clendenen is sadly gone, but his legacy lives on at the winery that more or less put Santa Barbara on the wine map. This is fully ripe at 13.5 alcohol, shaped (but not overwhelmed) by malolactic fermentation and time in French... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV Ridiculously delicious and our only complaint here is that we couldn't get all we wanted. Brilliant ripeness and fruit bound up in almost steely minearlity and finishing long, ripe, mineral and mouthwatering.... Read More

Ben Casteel's top Estate Chardonnay was a stunner on release in 2020 and is even better with four years in bottle. This is rich and creamy enough for California Chardonnay fans, mineral and vibrant enough... Read More
Seeing this on the shelf, a great Chardonnay customer reminisced that she and her husband first visited Cuvaison in the 1970s. Through the boom in super-butter Chard in the '80s and '90s and the reactionary trend towards... Read More
A richer, creamier, expression of Willamette Valley Chardonnay that's had enough time in bottle to start developing some hazelnut and butter secondary complexity. Great match for richer fish dishes. James Suckling's 92... Read More
Michael and Robert Mondavi, Jr. make California Chardonnay that's both very traditional and a bit more up-to-date. The rich body and ripe stone fruit, sliced pear, lemon curd and green melon flavors are just what you expect... Read More
Hartford Court is easily one of the top “traditional” California Chard houses working today in the <$100 price point and this “village” bottling shows off their skill and ethic to a “T”.... Read More

Really well done California Chardonnay at a heck of a bargain price. The bone dry 2022 vintage gives this Monterrey Chardonnay unusual concentration and time in light-toast French oak accentuates the creamy mouthfeel and adds... Read More
Morgan was a pioneer in all stainless steel California Chardonnay and they still do one of the most delicious versions. Santa Lucia Highlands fruit gives plenty of ripe fruit – think pear, apple and papaya – that still... Read More
Former Peter Michael winemaker (and current consulting winemaker) Luc Morlet makes some of California's most exciting Chardonnays at the Peter Michael, Kistler, Aubert-levels - but somehow still sell for much less. This rich... Read More
We like Wine Spectator's description so much, we're going to use it here: Rich and bold up front, offering plenty of honeysuckle and spice notes. A drizzle of wildflower honey and a toast detail complement flavors of apricot... Read More

Lower ABV Just 13 miles inland from the Pacific, The Hilt’s Chardonnay vineyards benefit from hours of daily sun balanced by almost as many hours of cooling ocean breeze. In 2020, it’s brilliantly aromatic and detailed... Read More
Another great vintage, and last year's 90 point Vinous review very much applies: Soft, supple and absolutely delicious. Light tropical notes, lemon confit, white flowers and bright acids give striking nuance as well as character.... Read More
