Using Chardonnay grown in special blocks of the Mer Soleil Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey County, we harvest the grapes when just fully ripe, their gold color hued with the green, expressing clean aromas of Chardonnay fruit and firm acidity. The wine is fermented and aged in small cement wine tanks imported from France, allowing for this varietal&#8217;s clean aromas to shine bright. We&#8217;re celebrating this process with a new ceramic bottle and cork finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>MacMurray Ranch Russian River Pinot Noir from California ($22.99) &#8211; <\/b>Restrained oak contact brings caramel and vanilla flavors, but the emphasis is on elegant ripe fruit with tropical and lemon cream notes.\u00a0 <b>90 Pts.

Made from 100% Garnacha aged in equal parts stainless steel and French oak, this is the Bodegas Borsao&#8217;s interpretation of Chateauneuf du Pape. Deep notes of roasted herbs, sweet black cherries and raspberries, peppers and spice soar from the glass of this dark ruby\/purple-tinged wine. Full-bodied, rich, ripe, silky textured, pure and long, this is an unbelievable value.&#8221; <b>92 Pts.
