The 2019 The Paring Chardonnay is a modern California Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County, crafted in a balanced, cool-climate style that combines richness with freshness. It reflects a versatile, approachable expression with both fruit purity and subtle complexity. The nose is inviting and expressive, showing citrus, green melon, and white flowers, layered with hints of baking spice and light toast.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, silky texture and vibrant acidity. Flavors of ripe citrus, pear, and light tropical fruit are complemented by subtle oak and mineral notes, leading to a bright, clean, and refreshing finish. The style is easy-drinking yet refined, offering both freshness and a touch of richness.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a great everyday premium Chardonnay—perfect for customers who want a balanced California style that’s not overly heavy. Ideal for fans of fresh yet slightly creamy Chardonnay. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta, or casual dining.
