Mendoza · Red

Catena

Appellation Vista Flores Malbec2022 · 750 mL · $135 CAD

The Catena family planted its first Mendoza Malbec vineyard in 1902 and later helped redefine the possibilities of high-altitude Argentine wine. This Vista Flores bottling focuses the variety through one Uco Valley origin. The published 2022 profile suggests cherry and berry fruit, white pepper and a graphite-like edge, with firm tannins and a juicy, flowing palate. Expect a dry, expressive red that offers character without excessive weight. It is a useful bridge between approachable Malbec and more ambitious estate selections, particularly alongside grilled beef or lamb.

Mendoza · Red

Catena

La Marchigiana Malbec2024 · 750 mL · $175 CAD

La Marchigiana recalls the Catena family’s Italian origins and the clay-vessel traditions Nicola Catena embraced after arriving in Argentina in 1898. This Malbec offers a different perspective from oak-led Mendoza reds. The 2024 retailer notes describe eight months in clay amphora and a profile of bramble fruit, olive and orange peel, with supple tannins and a fresh finish. Expect expressive fruit and a savoury edge rather than a heavily polished oak signature. It would suit grilled meats, earthy vegetables and dishes with gentle smoke.

Mendoza · Red

Catena Zapata

Argentino Malbec2022 · 750 mL · $550 CAD

Catena Zapata’s roots reach back to Nicola Catena’s first Malbec planting in Mendoza in 1902. Argentino draws together warmer La Consulta and cooler Paraje Altamira, giving the grape both breadth and freshness. For 2022, the published profile points to violet, plum and dark fruit with restrained smoke from French oak. Creamy texture and plush tannins make this a generous, youthful red. It adds an ambitious Argentine reference to the list, well suited to prime beef or deeply flavoured sauces without abandoning fruit and balance.

South Australia · Red

Penfolds

Grange2015 · 750 mL · $3,100 CAD

Grange began with an experimental vintage in 1951 and became the benchmark for Penfolds’ multi-vineyard blending approach. The 2015 combines 98% Shiraz with 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, matured in new American oak. Published notes describe intense blackberry, plum, graphite, coffee and spice. Expect a powerful, densely textured red with substantial tannins and a long, concentrated finish, still capable of further development. It adds a different expression of prestige to the list and suits deeply flavoured beef, lamb or a carefully reduced meat jus.

Okanagan Valley · White

Bench 1775

White Meritage2020 · 750 mL · $120 CAD

This White Meritage brings the traditional white Bordeaux partnership to the Naramata Bench, combining equal parts Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon from the producer’s vineyards. Part of the wine matured for fourteen months in French oak, adding breadth to Sauvignon’s freshness and Sémillon’s softer texture. Published notes suggest grapefruit, tropical fruit, lemon curd and gentle vanilla. It is a mature-vintage alternative within the local whites, useful with spot prawns, richer shellfish or pork, and broadens the list beyond Chardonnay and Riesling.

Okanagan Valley · Red

Black Hills

Nota Bene2023 · 750 mL · $280 CAD

The 2023 Nota Bene closes a sequence of twenty-five years of releases before vineyard renewal following cold damage. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc form the blend, with wild fermentation and French oak maturation shaping its structure. Retailer notes suggest ripe red and black fruit, savoury benchland herbs and a touch of smoke, supported by dense youthful tannins. This is a structured local alternative to Bordeaux, best considered with substantial dishes such as beef or lamb and enough aeration to let the fruit emerge.

Okanagan Valley · White

CheckMate

Fool’s Mate Chardonnay2022 · 750 mL · $425 CAD

Fool’s Mate occupies a distinct place in CheckMate’s range as its multi-vineyard Chardonnay, bringing several southern Okanagan sites together rather than isolating one parcel. Chardonnay’s orchard-fruit character is supported by oak and lees texture, with the house style balancing richness against freshness. Expect pear, stone fruit and a gentle vanilla impression as stylistic guides, rather than a tasting claim for this bottle. It provides a broad, polished local counterpart to the more site-specific Queen Taken and suits richer seafood or poultry dishes.

Okanagan Valley · White

CheckMate

Queen Taken Chardonnay2021 · 750 mL · $480 CAD

Queen Taken draws its identity from the restored Dekleva Vineyard on the Golden Mile Bench, whose old Chardonnay vines form an important part of Canadian wine history. The 2021 combines the historic Dekleva material with Old Wente selections and spends sixteen months in French oak. Published notes suggest pear, ginger and wet stone, with a savoury freshness beneath its layered texture. This is the local white to place alongside serious Burgundy, particularly with lobster, roast poultry or a restrained cream sauce.

Okanagan Valley · Red

Culmina

Cabernet Sauvignon2022 · 750 mL · $150 CAD

Culmina began with the Triggs family’s purchase of land south of Oliver in 2007. This estate Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Arise Bench, offering a focused view of one of the grapes used in the winery’s Hypothesis blend. Sixteen months in French oak frame the fruit. Producer notes suggest blackcurrant, clove, bay leaf, pepper and dry hillside herbs, with fine tannins and a substantial finish. It adds a useful comparison within the local reds and would suit lamb, beef or a savoury mushroom course.

Okanagan Valley · White

Culmina

Decora Riesling2025 · 750 mL · $100 CAD

Don and Elaine Triggs began developing Culmina after purchasing land south of Oliver in 2007. Decora is the estate’s dry Riesling expression, and the 2025 technical sheet identifies Margaret’s and Stan’s benches as its sources. Stainless steel fermentation keeps the grape’s aromatic detail in focus. The producer describes jasmine, peach, lime and mineral freshness, with a long, zesty finish and very little residual sugar. This vintage update preserves an original list choice and offers a precise pairing for oysters, fish or fragrant vegetable dishes.

Okanagan Valley · White

Culmina

Dilemma Chardonnay2025 · 750 mL · $140 CAD

Culmina grew from the Triggs family’s 2007 land purchase south of Oliver, with careful site selection shaping its white-wine program. Dilemma is made from estate Chardonnay at Margaret’s Bench. The 2025 technical sheet describes barrel fermentation and nine months of maturation, with partial malolactic conversion balancing freshness and texture. Producer notes suggest lemon, toasted nuts, fresh bread and a creamy palate. This is a measured local alternative for richer seafood and poultry, carrying enough acidity to keep an extended tasting menu lively.

Okanagan Valley · Red

Culmina

Hypothesis2020 · 750 mL · $165 CAD

Culmina’s founding project began in 2007, and Hypothesis remains its principal expression of a Golden Mile Bench red blend. The 2020 combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec from Arise and Stan’s benches, matured in French oak. The producer describes dark fruit, liquorice, toast and chocolate, with integrated tannins and a long finish. It brings a slightly more developed vintage to the revised local reds, offering a familiar Bordeaux framework for beef, duck confit or a deeply savoury mushroom preparation.

Okanagan Valley · Red

Culmina

Le Chant du Cygne2021 · 750 mL · $375 CAD

Le Chant du Cygne marks the final harvest from Culmina’s three acres of Syrah before declining vines were removed. The 2021 blends eighty percent Syrah with Cabernet Sauvignon and was produced in a small run of one hundred cases. Sixteen months in French oak support a structured style. Producer notes suggest cherry, raspberry, clove, pepper and cumin, with fine tannins carrying a long finish. Its vineyard story and limited production make it a meaningful reserve selection for lamb, venison or a carefully prepared beef course.

Okanagan Valley · Red

Culmina

Malbec2022 · 750 mL · $150 CAD

The Triggs family began Culmina’s estate development in 2007, eventually establishing a detailed program of individual vineyard blocks. This Malbec comes from the Arise and Stan’s benches and matured for sixteen months in French oak. Producer notes describe blackberry and cherry with tea, clove and star anise, balanced by a bright finish and measured tannin. As a single-variety wine, it makes the local list more informative than another anonymous blend. Its dark fruit and spice should work well with braised beef, venison or earthy vegetables.

Okanagan Valley · White

Culmina

Unicus Grüner Veltliner2025 · 750 mL · $140 CAD

Culmina describes Unicus as the Okanagan’s first Grüner Veltliner, an extension of the Triggs family’s site-driven project begun in 2007. Estate fruit from Margaret’s Bench is fermented in concrete and stainless steel for the 2025 release. The technical notes point to white flowers, lemon, white pepper and a rounded middle palate followed by a fresh, persistent finish. It adds a distinctive grape to the local selection and is especially useful where asparagus, herbs, vegetables or lighter poultry make a conventional pairing less obvious.

Okanagan Valley · Red

Hester Creek

The Judge2022 · 750 mL · $215 CAD

The Judge is rooted in Hester Creek’s historic Golden Mile vineyards, with plantings dating to 1968. The 2022 blend gives the largest roles to Merlot and Cabernet Franc, supported by Cabernet Sauvignon and small portions of Petit Verdot and Malbec. Twenty-four months in French oak build structure around the fruit. Published notes suggest dark berries, cocoa, cedar and dried spices, with a polished texture and fresher balance than a purely weight-driven red. It belongs beside roast beef, lamb or deeply flavoured vegetable dishes.

Okanagan Valley · Red

La Stella

Fortissimo2023 · 750 mL · $160 CAD

Fortissimo expresses La Stella’s Italian inspiration through a blend of Bordeaux grapes and Sangiovese. Its name and conception pay homage to the Tuscan producers who challenged established wine conventions in the twentieth century. Merlot and the Cabernets supply dark-fruit structure, while Sangiovese brings a savoury counterpoint. The established style suggests plum, cherry, herbs and tobacco, with oak kept in proportion. This current 2023 release replaces the older list vintage and offers a versatile local red for beef, lamb or mushroom preparations.

Okanagan Valley · White

Le Vieux Pin

Sauvignon Blanc2025 · 750 mL · $170 CAD

Le Vieux Pin’s first vintage was released in 2005, beginning a program shaped by French technique and the warmth of the south Okanagan. This Sauvignon Blanc draws from southern valley vineyards and spends six months on lees in a combination of stainless steel and older French oak. The retailer describes grapefruit, tangerine and green apple over a stony, textured foundation. Expect a focused white with more breadth than a purely steel-aged expression. It is a useful local choice for shellfish, herbs and gently creamy seafood dishes.

Okanagan Valley · White

Little Engine

Gold Chardonnay2022 · 375 mL · $115 CAD

Little Engine’s vineyard story began with the purchase of Corbishley Vineyard in 2011, followed by its first harvest in 2014. Gold Chardonnay uses Naramata Bench fruit and a long period on lees in French oak to build a broad, layered texture. Published notes point toward peach, honey, citrus and vanilla, with acidity holding the richness together. This is explicitly a half bottle, useful for a dinner for two or a shorter pairing sequence. It suits lobster, scallops or poultry with a luxurious sauce.

Okanagan Valley · White

Synchromesh

Riesling2025 · 750 mL · $115 CAD

Alan and Amy Dickinson purchased the first Synchromesh property above Okanagan Falls in 2010 after searching for a suitable Riesling site. The family’s focus remains expressive Riesling with carefully judged sweetness and acidity. This available 2025 bottling is the broader blend, rather than the original Storm Haven selection. Published notes suggest lime, green apple and white peach, with sweetness checked by vivid acidity and modest alcohol. It offers a flexible pairing for spice, aromatic herbs and richer seafood, while keeping the palate refreshed.

Okanagan Valley · White

Tantalus

Bear Chardonnay2025 · 750 mL · $120 CAD

Tantalus was established in 2004 on a Kelowna site with a much longer history of grape growing. Bear replaced the Juveniles Chardonnay name as the younger vineyards matured, and honours the nickname of the proprietor’s son. The wine is made from Chardonnay, with a restrained wood signature intended to keep its fruit clear. Retailer notes point toward green apple, citrus peel, almond and a saline finish. Its fresh, lighter expression offers a useful alternative to the more powerful Chardonnays in the list.

Similkameen Valley · Red

Orofino

Gamay2025 · 750 mL · $135 CAD

John and Virginia Weber moved to Cawston after discovering the Similkameen in 2001, building Orofino around the valley’s diverse vineyards. This small-production Gamay offers a lighter perspective than the original Beleza blend. The retailer describes freshness, low tannin and lively acidity; the grape’s typical red-fruit character is a stylistic guide rather than a claim of tasting this bottle. Served lightly cool, it would bring an easy, precise red-wine option to salmon, poultry or vegetable courses without overwhelming delicate elements.

Itata Valley · White

Dakel

Chardonnay2022 · 750 mL · $320 CAD

Dakél grew from the work of Don Hartford, Randy Ullom and Andrés Sánchez, who planted vines in coastal Itata in 2007 and spent years developing the project. This Chardonnay brings a Chilean coastal perspective to a familiar grape. The published 2022 profile suggests acacia, apple, herbs and ginger, with a broad texture and persistent freshness. Expect a dry, layered white that combines richness with a lively finish. It is a thoughtful addition for shellfish, roasted fish and poultry, and a useful comparison with the list’s Burgundian and Californian Chardonnays.

Bordeaux · Red

Château Domeyne

Saint-Estèphe2018 · 750 mL · $235 CAD

Vincent Ginestet acquired Château Domeyne in 2018, continuing the story of this small estate beside Calon-Ségur in Saint-Estèphe. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grow on gravel and clay over limestone, giving the wine both breadth and structure. The retailer describes the 2018 with cassis, plum and dark berries, supported by cigar-box, graphite and toasted-spice notes. Expect a full, fresh palate and a firm frame rather than simple fruit sweetness. It would suit lamb or beef with a deeply reduced jus, adding Saint-Estèphe to the list while replacing the unavailable Pibran.

Bordeaux · Red

Château Figeac

Saint-Émilion2020 · 750 mL · $1,975 CAD

Figeac has remained in the same family since 1892; Thierry Manoncourt shaped its distinctive modern identity after taking over in 1947. This 2020 wine combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Published notes suggest blackberry, raspberry, tobacco, pencil shavings and truffle, with concentrated fruit, vibrant acidity and finely woven tannins. It offers a dry, structured Bordeaux expression suited to a carefully paced dinner. Consider it alongside roast lamb, beef with a reduced jus, or savoury mushrooms, allowing sufficient air for its young structure to relax. These are source-based style and pairing expectations, not a first-hand tasting report.

Bordeaux · Red

Château Haut-Batailley

Pauillac2020 · 750 mL · $550 CAD

Published tasting notes point toward blackberry, red plum, leather and sage, followed by an earthy, truffle-like finish. Expect layered savoury detail, balanced acidity and supple but present tannins. This is an evocative mature-vintage addition for roast poultry, beef or woodland mushrooms, where the wine’s complexity can remain the focus.

The retailer describes white-fruit and floral aromas, a discreet oak accent and a balance of roundness with freshness. Expect an uncomplicated dry white that complements a meal without dominating it. It is useful for fried fish, simply cooked sole or an opening poultry course, giving the list a sensible entry price below the village and premier cru selections.

Burgundy · White

Bouchard Père & Fils

Meursault Premier Cru Genevrières2019 · 750 mL · $700 CAD

Pierre-Antonin Darviot took over the family domaine in 2020, continuing the work of Didier and Geneviève Darviot. Blanchots Dessus is a premier cru Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet and a more ambitious step within the white Burgundy selection. Published notes for 2022 point to a floral bouquet, yellow plum and a layered return of softer white fruit after a drier finish. Expect depth and restraint rather than immediate exuberance. It is a cellar-minded choice for a substantial fish course or lobster, with careful serving temperature and time in the glass.

Domaine Faiveley

This is an especially useful contrast to the Grenache-led blends commonly associated with the appellation. The published 2024 profile suggests dark plum and blackcurrant with pepper, rosemary and a firm mineral edge. Expect a dry, generously fruited red with enough tannin for roasted meat, but a more approachable price than the northern crus. It gives the list a serious, practical entry point.

Max Ferdinand Richter

Veldenzer Elisenberg Riesling Spätlese2022 · 750 mL · $275 CAD

Max Ferdinand Richter traces its wine business to 1680 and remains connected to the family that purchased vineyards in 1643. This Elisenberg Spätlese comes from mature Riesling vines and includes a small proportion of botrytised fruit. Its published character combines ripe fruit, stone and gentle nutty notes with a lush texture and notably energetic acidity. Sweetness is integral to the style, balanced by a savoury, saline finish. Consider it alongside blue cheese, lightly spiced preparations or fruit-led courses where freshness matters as much as richness.

Mosel · White

Selbach-Oster

Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett2020 · 750 mL · $210 CAD

The Selbach family’s relationship with Mosel wine stretches back roughly four centuries, with Riesling rooted in steep slate vineyards at the centre of its work. Zeltinger Sonnenuhr brings a particularly stony dimension to this 2020 Kabinett. Published tasting notes point to flint and rock aromas, a rounded yet refined palate, and an appetising, persistent finish. Gentle sweetness and low alcohol make it a useful counterpoint to spice, shellfish and salty ingredients. This is a textured Kabinett, with more depth than its delicate frame first suggests.

Tokaj · Sweet

Patricius

Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos2018 · 500 mL · $445 CAD

Patricius was created by the Kékessy family around historic Tokaj vineyards and a restored press house recorded in an 1867 regional album. This 2018 Aszú combines Furmint, Zéta and Hárslevelű in a concentrated sweet wine. Published notes suggest dried apricot, tangerine, honeysuckle and pear, with oak detail and a delicate tea-like element. Richness is the central impression, but Tokaj’s acid structure gives the style its definition. This 500 ml bottle adds a considered ending to the list for fruit desserts, blue cheese or a small contemplative final glass.

Piedmont · Red

Azelia

San Rocco Barolo2021 · 750 mL · $790 CAD

Azelia was founded in Castiglione Falletto in 1920 and remains a small family estate devoted to Piedmont’s native varieties. San Rocco gives Nebbiolo a powerful, structured expression. The 2021’s published profile combines red fruit, dried rose, woodland and pepper with firm tannins and a long, energetic finish. This is a young Barolo that benefits from air and careful food pairing, rather than being selected for softness alone. Its depth makes it compelling with beef, game or truffle-led dishes, while its acidity preserves definition.

Piedmont · Red

Elvio Cogno

Bricco dei Merli Barbera d’Alba2021 · 750 mL · $240 CAD

Elvio Cogno’s family winery in Novello continues a tradition spanning four generations of growers and winemakers. Although celebrated for Barolo, the estate also gives Barbera a carefully measured expression in Bricco dei Merli. The 2021 is described as particularly juicy and fruit-driven, balancing the grape’s natural acidity with an elegant, rounded impression. Expect a dry red with lively berry fruit and an easy flow across the palate. It belongs beside richer poultry, pork and mushroom dishes, where freshness can lift the food without imposing Nebbiolo’s firmer tannins.

Piedmont · Red

Gaja

Conteisa Barolo2021 · 750 mL · $3,100 CAD

Conteisa takes its name from a centuries-old dispute between La Morra and Barolo over the Cerequio area, settled in 1275. Gaja’s single-vineyard expression is Nebbiolo grown on the southern-facing slopes of La Morra. Published notes for 2021 suggest redcurrant, cherry, orange peel, floral perfume and woodland spice. Expect firm, polished tannins and energetic acidity, with substantial depth and a long finish. This is a young, serious Barolo for a reserve programme, especially alongside beef, game or truffle-led dishes after thoughtful aeration.

Piedmont · White

Pio Cesare

Gavi2025 · 750 mL · $145 CAD

Pio Cesare began in Alba in 1881 and has remained a family-led interpreter of Piedmont across five generations. Its Gavi is entirely Cortese, sourced from selected hillside growers with long-standing family relationships. Cool stainless-steel fermentation and extended lees contact preserve fresh fruit while giving the wine a little breadth. The house describes a clean, subtly spicy and saline profile with ripe fruit. Expect a dry white that suits crudo, shellfish and delicate vegetable dishes, with enough texture to accompany a restrained cream sauce.

Tuscany · Red

Badia a Coltibuono

Chianti Classico2022 · 750 mL · $225 CAD

Badia a Coltibuono has made this signature bottling since 1972, preserving a recognisably Tuscan blend rather than pursuing sheer weight. Sangiovese is supported by small amounts of Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Colorino. Published notes for 2022 suggest rose, red cherry, pomegranate and aromatic herbs, carried by a medium-bodied palate with fine, powdery tannins. Its appeal is precision and savoury freshness. This is a useful dining wine for roasted meats, mushrooms and tomato-accented preparations, offering structure without dominating a carefully composed plate.

Tuscany · Red

Biondi-Santi

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva2010 · 750 mL · $5,650 CAD

Biondi-Santi’s 2010 Riserva was made by Franco Biondi Santi from the estate’s BBS11 Sangiovese clone, selected at Tenuta Greppo in the 1970s. Grapes came from vines over 25 years old, followed by three years in Slavonian oak. Producer and published notes suggest dark berries, dried cherry, herbs, leather and spice. Expect a poised, structured Brunello with persistent acidity and substantial ageing potential. Its savoury complexity belongs beside game, aged beef or an earthy mushroom course rather than heavily sweet sauces.

Tuscany · Red

Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Double Magnum2022 · 3000 mL · $3,100 CAD

Tignanello took its name with the 1971 vintage, helping redefine Tuscan wine through Sangiovese, international varieties and small oak barrels. The 2022 blends 78% Sangiovese, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc. Published notes suggest red cherry, flowers, mint and cinnamon, supported by bright acidity and finely balanced structure. This three-litre double magnum is a large-format selection for a shared table, offering the same wine in a celebratory presentation. Expect youthful energy alongside roast meats, Tuscan-inspired dishes or a savoury mushroom course.

Veneto · Red

Montresor

Amarone della Valpolicella2022 · 750 mL · $235 CAD

Montresor was founded in Verona in 1892, and this Amarone follows the region’s tradition of drying grapes before fermentation. Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara are dried for four months, then the wine matures in Slavonian and French oak. The published profile suggests plum, black cherry, mocha and dark chocolate, with warming richness and supple tannins. Despite its concentrated fruit, this is a dry red intended for substantial food. Braised beef, game and aged hard cheese would make natural partners for its depth and savoury finish.

Marlborough · White

Greywacke

Chardonnay2022 · 750 mL · $255 CAD

Kevin Judd established Greywacke in 2009 after directing Cloudy Bay’s first 25 vintages, bringing deep experience of Marlborough to his family label. This Chardonnay presents a richer counterpoint to the region’s familiar Sauvignon Blanc. Published notes for 2022 suggest yellow peach, ripe fruit and a buttery, toasted character, with bright acidity keeping the wine alert. Expect a dry white with considerable texture and presence. It adds a distinctive New Zealand perspective for lobster, roast poultry or fish with a richer sauce, while retaining the freshness needed at the table.

Rioja · Red

Marqués de Murrieta

Rioja Reserva2021 · 750 mL · $250 CAD

Marqués de Murrieta traces its Rioja story to 1852, when Luciano Murrieta applied techniques learned in Bordeaux to wines intended to age. The 2021 estate blend is led by Tempranillo, with Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha adding detail. Its extended American-oak maturation contributes spice around berry fruit and emerging woodland notes. Published tasting suggests both freshness and refined tannins, making this a persuasive classical Rioja choice. Lamb, beef and roasted mushrooms would complement its savoury depth, while its balance offers more versatility than a purely powerful red.

Rioja · Red

Montecillo

Rioja Reserva2020 · 750 mL · $90 CAD

Montecillo’s history in Rioja extends beyond 150 years, and its Reserva remains rooted in a traditional Tempranillo-led style with a small contribution from Mazuelo. For 2020, the published profile suggests dark plum and cherry, nutty detail and sweet spice, supported by a medium-bodied palate and noticeable tannins. This is a dry, food-oriented red whose interest lies in balance and mature oak character. It provides a restrained entry point to Rioja, suitable for roast pork, lamb or aged cheese, alongside the list’s more ambitious Spanish bottles.

California · White

Chalk Hill

Sonoma Coast Chardonnay2023 · 750 mL · $145 CAD

Founded in 1972, Chalk Hill built its reputation around Chardonnay and the varied landscapes of Sonoma. This Sonoma Coast bottling offers a brighter regional expression than the name’s richer estate wines. The published profile suggests lemon, grapefruit and green apple, with a generous middle palate kept precise by lively acidity. Expect a dry, medium-bodied Chardonnay with freshness running through its fruit. It provides an approachable California option for scallops, white fish and poultry without requiring a heavily oaked style.

California · White

Rombauer

Carneros Chardonnay2023 · 750 mL · $290 CAD

Rombauer’s Carneros Chardonnay represents the generous side of California, with fruit drawn from both the Napa and Sonoma portions of the appellation. Andrew Holloway joined the cellar as an intern in 2010 and became winemaker in 2023. Barrel fermentation and nine months in American and French oak frame this Chardonnay’s expected citrus, pineapple, vanilla and brioche character. Its broad texture is balanced by acidity rather than sheer sweetness. A fitting choice for butter-poached shellfish, roast poultry or a richer sauce.
