Super juicy, vibrant, and lively, delivering tropical fruit flavors wrapped with creamy lemon custard notes, Reata Sonoma Coast Chardonnay ($20) melds fruit from Russian River and Carneros, barrel fermenting half the juice, and aging for 9 months in partially new French oak. Though many techniques to add richness, texture, and the creaminess that malolactic fermentation gives to white wine, the Chardonnay maintains freshness with a balance of bright acidity. Green apple and honeydew meld with toasted spice, almond, and cream in this food-friendly option to enjoy any night.
