WHAT: Rodney Strong Chalk Hill Chardonnay 2007 (white) Rating: NNN
WHERE: Sonoma County, California
WHY: California and summer are synonymous, right? Girls, surfing, cars, wildfires, riots: we hold these truths to be self-evident. So it behooves us to include a Golden State sipper in our patio pondering. This Chardonnay harbours typical California tropical lushness, but assertive helpings of acidity and minerality grant complexity, all punctuated by a long, zesty finish.
PRICE: 750 ml/$19.95
AVAILABILITY: At selected Vintages outlets (product #275552)
