Clos Julien Chardonnay Price Canyon San Luis Obispo Coast 2020

Clos Julien is a small winery that focuses on cool-climate chardonnay and pinot noir from California’s Central Coast, particularly San Luis Obispo County. Grapes for the Price Canyon Chardonnay come from the Spanish Springs Vineyard, a tiny hillside plot a mere 1.5 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The combination of strong Pacific breezes and sandy loam soils result in a wine more evocative of the Mâcon than of the full-bodied, oaky chardonnays we so often associate with California! Vibrant and fresh, it offers up fantastic purity of fruit, with aromas of white flowers, lemon zest, and sea spray. A lively palate delivers crisp flavors of Granny Smith apple, Bosc pear, and citrus that mingle with mouthwatering acidity and a saline, almost-savory finish. A versatile value! Sustainably grown.
