There’s something about summer days that just ca There’s something about summer days that just call for Chardonnay… and our Carte Blanche Chardonnay answers beautifully. Crisp, textured, and elegant — it’s everything we love about a Sonoma Coast white, wrapped up in one glass.This wine opens with aromas of Meyer lemon, honeysuckle, and a whisper of coastal salinity. On the palate, layers of ripe stone fruit, lemon curd, and bright acidity are framed by subtle French oak and a creamy, mineral-driven finish.Perfect summer pairing? Grilled halibut with lemon and herbs, a simple burrata salad with peaches… or honestly, just a sunny afternoon with good friends.Stock up, chill it down, and show us how you’re pairing Carte Blanche Chardonnay this season. Tag us — we love seeing how summer looks from your table.
