Whoa...is this ever a good California Chard. I mean really good. Most California wineries are moving away from the old fashioned oaky style that so many people complain about. But not Sbragia. For a while there is seemed like wineries were competing to see who could make the oakiest, most syrupy, most unbalanced Chardonnay. And people got sick of it and so wineries started changing styles. Well. Sbragia reminds us why that nonsense started--why lesser wineries started too much oak. They were trying to get the opulence, honey and honeysuckle flavors. The difference is those other wineries fail at it while Sbragia succeeds magnificently. 92 points Wine Enthusiast, 92 points Wine News, 92 points Wine Spectator. On sale for $20.99.
