Balance in Every Glass
The brand's own tasting note says it best: "a great balance of bright citrus and honey with a touch of oak character and hints of juicy peach — crafted with care so that no single flavor overpowers another." The partial French oak gives softness and vanilla; the cool fermentation keeps it fresh and crisp. It's the chardonnay that works as hard at a dinner party as it does on a Tuesday. Shop the chardonnay collection or Josh Cellars wines at Del Mesa Liquor.
