2006 Mira Luna Central Coast Chardonnay, California (Rated 91)
In Stock
| Vintage | 2006 |
| Varietal | Chardonnay |
| Appellation | Central Coast |
Mira Luna is a star in our Signature Selection Series, but it's been years since we've been able to deliver a Chardonnay good enough to bear its label. Generous aromas of apples and pears, tropical fruits, honeysuckle, nuts and a touch of butterscotch greet the nose. The taste is reminiscent of vanilla custard with a lemon citrus zing. It continues on with a bit of toasty oak and winds down to a delicious silky finish.
Silver, Best Buy -- 2010 World Wine Championships
house brand "Pale golden yellow color. Aromas of Asian pear, caramel rice cake, and grilled pineapple are sake-like follow through on a supple entry to a dryish medium body with tart lemon curd, apple, and mineral notes on the even finish. Try with sushi."

Region Description |
This superb Chardonnay hails from California’s Central Coast, which leading wine expert Robert M. Parker, Jr., once predicted would “rule America.” The growing importance of this region suggests that he was right. With its Mediterranean-like climate and fertile soils, it is an important source of American agriculture—and one of the best grape-growing regions in the world. |

Food Pairings |
Offer this wine with fish, light poultry and cream sauces. Another delicious pairing is salmon cakes topped with tomato corn salsa. Or try it alongside your favorite garlic chicken recipe. Serve chilled. |
