John’s July Pick of the Month

Naked Mountain Vineyard

2006

Chardonnay

Proprietors Bob & Phoebe Harper have built a reputation on producing excellent Chardonnays and their gold medal winner ’06 Barrel Fermented Chard extends this track record. The wine displays citrus, apple and melon on the palate and finishes with subtle toasty and creamy caramel notes. Match this smooth and well-balanced white with a summery Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad. Drink now through 2010.
