Tasting Notes:
The Mer Soleil chardonnay is from the Central Coast. The "Mer" stands for the sea, which in this case refers to the Pacific Ocean that brings a fog and cool breeze to the vinyards, "Soleil" is the sunshine that brings the grapes to maturity. The vinyards are located int he Santa Lucia Highlands and often get a cool morning fog and afternoon winds that blow in from the Pacific Ocean.

The first notable thing about this wine is its beautiful deep golden color. It nose contains pear and honey. It's texture is thick and viscous. On the palatte it tasts almost like a Corton-Charlemagne. The fruit is concentrated. I would score this an 8 out of 10. Price is $33 per bottle.
