Tarias 2006 Central Coast Chardonnay is a flavorful blend of grapes from the winerys best Central Coast fruit of Santa Barbara and Monterey County. A Gold Medal Wine Club Exclusive, this cool, refreshing Chardonnay is only available to Gold Series members. The brisk oceanside climates provide cool sea breezes and fog throughout the evenings and early mornings, with warmer temperatures rising by mid-day, which allows the Chardonnay grapes to develop crisp, citrus fruit flavors. Tarias Chardonnay is made with minimal malolactic fermentation and sees no oak, which further showcases the fruit of the region. Ripe citrus, honeysuckle, and tropical fruit scents abound while focused green melon, pineapple, and ripe lemon add a rich, vibrant mouth feel.
