You may know him as the "Zin master," but Joel Gott's favorite wine is actually his 2006 Chardonnay! Crisp and clean, this 100% stainless steel fermented wine sees absolutely no oak, preserving the purity of the zesty, fresh fruit and natural acidity of the grape. Citrus, pear and tropical notes coupled with a hint of jasmine - the beautiful brilliance of this wine is perfect for banishing the winter blues!

We have been fans of Joel Gott's value-priced Zinfandels for a number of years, and this inexpensive Chardonnay similarly fills the bill when it comes to straightforward varietal character at a very fair price. Bright and fruity with suggestions of fresh apples and a bare wisp of sweet spice, it is clean, nicely balanced and so very easy to quaff.
