"Not the typical California chardonnay. This subtle, almost stony refreshing wine is relatively light in body, emphasizing crisp acidity and savory mineral flavors. Grapes from Carneros were fermented in concrete vats and aged in neutral barrels. Drink now."

"The Y3 from Jax Vineyards carries a North Coast appellation, blending fruit from Napa, Lake County, and Sonoma. Consistently one of the best under-$30 wines from Napa Valley, it offers exceptional quality for the price. This wine delivers a full-bodied, rich expression of blackberry and blueberry compote, accented by nuances of incense and very fine-grained tannins. The cherry pit finish adds a touch of tension and vibrancy, making it a perfect by-the-glass option and a tremendous value."

"A fruity and crisp chardonnay with green apples, fresh lemons and some dried leaves on the nose. Medium body with fresh acidity. Supple and succulent with a pleasant finish. Drink now."
