90 points and 'Very highly recommended,' California Grapevine: "[$32 list] Medium-light to medium golden yellow; attractive, forward, tropical and ripe stone fruit aroma with a hints of butterscotch and vanilla; medium-full body; big, rich, multi-layered, slightly viscous, buttery, guava, pineapple, and passion fruit flavors with good depth and a creamy mouthfeel; lingering aftertaste. A rich, fat style of Chardonnay that is enjoyable with or without food. 14.5% alcohol; 100% barrel fermented; 30% malolactic fermentation; released March 2014. (Oct 2014)"
Producer notes: "[$32 list] The Mer Soleil Vineyard is named for the two natural forces that create its growing conditions: sea (mer) and sun (soleil). With plantings at two separate locations in the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation of Monterey County, our Mer Soleil Chardonnay vines are nestled on east-facing lower slopes of the Sierra de Salinas range in what is one of the coolest, direct grape-growing area in Califormia. The climate of this coastal appellation causes morning and evening fog and warm, bright afternoons, a combination that produces the high-quality fruit we use to make this bright, elegant Chardonnay."
