Liberty School Chardonnay 2007
California, United StatesMonterey chardonnay remains undervalued as evidenced by the broader Central Coast tag on the label which doesn't make me want to buy this wine, but buy it you should. The chardonnay fruit used here come out of the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey's Salinas Valley. Two-thirds is barrel fermented in 50/50 French and American oak and there is no malolactic fermentation allowed to keep it fresh. The wine is bright and fresh on the palate with plenty of juicy citrus fruit and the odd fleck of orange rind. Roast chicken is the perfect foil here. Pricey.
