Just like the weather where it is made, Mer Soleil Chardonnay is a dramatic and artful combination. Creamy and rich, the wine is balanced by a lively acidity. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels to impart the right Oak flavor. There is just a hint of butter in the wine. The creamy texture makes it perfect to pair with oysters.

California. Ripe, almost tropical flavors with a hint of mineral. 14% ABV

88 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '00 Mer Soleil Chardonnay is smooth, rich and creamy, with layers of complex pear, fig, vanilla and apricot; long aftertaste echoes smoke and toast.

Enticing and rich, the tropical-like Mer Soleil Chardonnay is well-textured and refined on the palate; pretty, ripe citrus flavors abound; long, lasting finish.
