CRU Winery Smith & Lindley Vineyard SLH Chardonnay 2022

This Chardonnay is a lovely representation of Chardonnay from the Santa Lucia Highlands. It opens with notes pineapple, peach and apricot that develop into flavors of honeydew melon and kiwi with a finish accented by vanilla and coconut. The wine is beautifully balanced with delightful acidity, mineral accents and a long, rich finish.

The layers of flavor in this wine make it an ideal pairing for a variety of foods. CRU recommends pairing it with grilled salmon or chicken. It also pairs beautifully with lobster or shrimp in a butter and garlic sauce.
