2020 Methode Sauvage Iruai Mineral Range Chardonnay, Trinity Lakes, Callifornia
$30.00
Don't call this California Chardonnay 'Cougar Juice' ... unless of course you're refering to the ACTUAL COUGARS roaming the slopes of the Trinity Alps where these grapes were grown! A rare alpine expression of the variety in California, 'Mineral Range' Chardonnay channels the rocky acidity from the cool climate of the Shasta-Trinity wilderness. A savage Spring and Fall bookends a generous Summer, conjuring white flowers, ripe apples, and a round texture. Best chilled in a pile of snow! - Chad
