They've been making Chardonnay at Acacia for over 25 years, and they believe that great wine comes with experience. One thing they’ve learned over the years is that wine in its purest from expresses a sense of place. A by Acacia blends the virtues of California's great Chardonnay wine growing regions to create a balanced wine with aromas of pear and toast and rich, vibrant flavors of apples and tropical fruits.
Acacia 'A' 2006 Chardonnay expresses the vibrant fruit character of grapes grown in California’s cool, windswept Monterey County. Bright citrus, pineapple, pear and tropical fruit notes perfume the aromas and beautifully balanced flavors. Hints of spice and vanilla oak weave through the fruit, and then linger on the finish. Crisp natural acidity structures the flavors, balanced with rich, silky texture from sur lie aging. Lightly chill this Chardonnay, then pull the cork and enjoy it with your favorite entrees or simply to sip with friends. Their winemaker, Tom Westberg, likes to match this wine with smoked salmon tossed with creamy pasta, pâté on a baguette or sautéed scallops.

"Clean and flinty, with a mix of citrus, subtle honey and cedary oak delivered on a medium-bodied frame. Ends with tangy acidity. Drink now. 42,500 cases made. –JL" -Rated 86, Wine Spectator
