Drink: 2018-2024

Bottle size: 750 ml

Alcohol: 13.5%

Sweetness: Dry

Wine Type: White Wine


Winery: McManis

Natalie's Score: 90/100

Mcmanis winery is certified sustainable and certified Green. Wine grapes for their 2017 Chardonnay were sourced from the AVA of River Junction. This is one of the few California appellations that is home to a single producer located at the confluence of the San Joaquin and Stanislaus rivers. Great acidity on this dry, medium-bodied Chard with buttery apple, ripe pear, stonefruit, tropical fruit. Chill and enjoy with grilled pork chops.

Chardonnay food pairings: scallops with a sesame ginger dressing, spinach and pepper jack stuffed chicken, pan-fried cod with lemon butter sauce, toasted ravioli served with Alfredo sauce.

The Chardonnay wine grapes for McMann's 2017 were sourced from the AVA of River Junction. The winery is certified sustainable and certified Green. Great acidity on this dry, medium-bodied Chard with buttery apple, ripe pear, stone fruit, tropical fruit and amazingly well-priced under $20. This is one of the few California appellations that is home to a single producer located at the confluence of the San Joaquin and Stanislaus rivers. Pair with grilled pork chops. - Community Wine Reviews
