Saintsbury Chardonnay
Carneros 2004, California $35.99
Saintsbury
put Carneros on the wine map in the early 1980s.
The idea was that the cool conditions would produce
balanced, elegant wines. The idea was right. What
we have here is a supreme example of how place
matters in winemaking. Delicious now, this wine
will continue to develop and age gracefully.
