Notes of melon, peach, and a subtle hint of vanilla lead to a clean, lingering finish. This wine's balance and structure make it a versatile partner for a variety of dishes, from the richness of grilled salmon or chicken in a creamy sauce to the lightness of a spring vegetable quiche or a fresh Caesar salad. Whether enjoyed on its own as a sipper on a warm afternoon or paired with a meal among friends, the Avalon Chardonnay is a celebration of the joy and abundance that California wine has to offer.
