I'm a little cynical about chasing points for California Chardonnay. Too often a wine stands out in a tasting lineup, but then it seems ponderous in the glass when it's actually time to drink one. This bright and energetic Chardonnay begs the next sip and you're happy to oblige it. It has plenty depth and it wants to be your friend. It's drinking great and all about enjoyment.

'Tis the season for another blockbuster Chardonnay offer! How about nearly 50% off the winery price on a world class California Chardonnay. If you've been watching our this space over the past year, you know that we've had some unheard of specials on Copain. This offer is no exception. With a few years of bottle age, this wine has it all going on. Upon opening, the wine gradually reveals a variety of classic Chardonnay aromas including flowers, apples, pears, and a touch of lemon. The same sensations continue on the palate. While still light on its feet it has the body and texture of a wine that's starting to come into its own. There's also a hint of wood spice which lingers on the palate along with a touch of lively refreshing acidity. This is a most perfect wine to purchase by the case for the holidays.

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Chardonnay

- It's hard to believe that up until about 30 years ago, this extremely popular varietal hid behind the veil of geographical names like Chablis and Puligny-Montrachet. Now grown all over the world and bottled by its varietal name, Chardonnay has achieved a level of branding unlike any other wine. Surprisingly, though, what you get when you buy Chardonnay can differ greatly from country to country and even within one country, depending on the climate where it's grown and how it is vinified and aged. From fresh, crisp and minerally with apple and lemon notes to rich and buttery with tropical fruit overtones, Chardonnay runs the gamut. In France's Burgundy, Chardonnay is the source of the prized wines of Chablis, Corton-Charlemagne, Mâcon, Meursault and Montrachet. It also the foundation of exceptional Champagne, where it is blended with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier or vinified on its own into Blanc de Blancs. It is also extremely popular in California, and is gaining popularity in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain and South Africa.

Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.

Specific Appellation:

Anderson Valley/Mendocino

- Cooled by the nearby ocean and the seemingly omnipresent bank of oceanic fog, this picturesque wine region is home to a wealth of cool-climate grapes like riesling and gewürztraminer plus chardonnay and pinor noir, which are responsible for impressive and intense sparkling wines.
