Columbia Crest Chardonnay Grand Estates 2009 - Aromas of poached pear, caramel apple, spice and a hint of blossoms precede a mouthful of bright fruit, reminiscent of a fresh Gala apple. The refined flavors of this crisp Chardonnay end with a gracefully lingering finish of cream and butter nuances.
Food Pairings: Green Chile Cioppino, Dungeness Crab Cakes with Roasted Red Pepper-Black Olive Relish and Basil Aioli, Nicoise Salad with Grilled Spice Rubbed Shrimp.
