No enological tricks here, just intense, pure and clean flavors.
The Foxglove Edna Valley Chardonnay is exactly what the doctor ordered. This wine is reminiscent of fine Chablis, but with a little more flesh on the bone. The acidity is breathtaking, giving the wine shape and form. This feature also makes it perfectly suited to a wide range of food, unlie many of its over-the-top cohorts. This is posibble only because eht winemake chose to forgo malolactic fermentation, leaving the grape’s natural acid content intact.

"Perhaps the great value in Chardonnay in the marketplace today, this wine, made by the highly talented Varner Winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains, comes from fruit accessed in California’s Edna Valley. With malolactic blocked but with lees stirring, this 25,000-case cuvee provides terrific notes of tropical fruit and poached pear in a fleshy, medium-bodied style with obvious minerality and precision. This is a remarkable effort that is fresh, lively, and best drunk over the next 1-2 years." -Rated 90, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
