Santa Lucia Mer Soleil Reserve Chardonnay

A soft golden color, this wine features bright scents of lemon crumb bars and honeydew, with a hint of apricot, toasted oak and the evocative trace of a freshly struck match. Entry on the palate is round and robust, lending a richness to the fruit. At the same time, a zing of the acidity hits the sides of the tongue, maintaining the liveliness of citrus and melon. This dance of vibrancy and intensity carries over to the finish, as honeydew and apricot trail off in the silky smoothness.
