Booker Wine 2021 Booker My Favorite Neighbor Chardonnay

From The Winemaker

My Favorite Neighbor's MFN Blanc Chardonnay White Wine showcases a deep, rich color of golden straw, the first clue that this is a serious chardonnay wine. Bold aromas of pear, green apple, and lime peel are followed by nuanced aromas of ginger root, brioche, and orange blossom. This California wine's palate demonstrates broad depth and laser-like focus, offering a pleasant acidity and saline minerality that are ensconced in rich flavors of pie crust, clotted cream, and burnt caramel. Made with a distinctly defined, shared vision and with 100% chardonnay grapes sourced from exceptional vineyards in San Luis Obispo County, this California chardonnay is honest and obsessive, much like the meticulous farmers who dedicate themselves to the land where these grapes grow. This world-class California white wine, crafted without any shortcuts or compromises, is the result of collaboration with these farmers and their crews, who have become favorite neighbors.
