Natalie's Score: 89/100

A fresh cool-climate Chardonnay from the Monterey wine region -- one of the coolest wine grape growing regions in California. Noble Vines 446 is named for the vine stock 4, which is now planted in the winery's block 46 vineyard and other sites in San Bernabe. Chill and enjoy with roast chicken. This Chard is fresh with vibrant citrus acidity, tropical fruit, and bright ripe apple flavours on the palate. This Chardonnay is as fresh as it gets!. Pair with grilled seafood and Alfredo dishes.

Chardonnay food pairings: roast chicken, seafood alfredo, pork tenderloin with peach, apricot compote.

Remarkable Roast Chicken Wine

Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Rich, buttery and oaky on the nose. Ripe pear and oaky texture on the palate Rich and unctuous. Typical California Chardonnay but not over the top. Pair with veal in cream sauce. Good value. Tasted Dec 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com

Linda Mertes WSET 2 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A full-bodied Chardonnay from Monterey, California presents light gold in the glass, with tropical fruit , apple and citrus aromas. Mango on the palate with pineapple persists throughout the palate, ending with a dry but candied finish. Will compliment seafood or poultry accompanied by fruit salsa.

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Aromatic Chardonnay from Monterey, California, the 2017 Noble Vines 446 reveals delicious aromas of cooked pineapple, mango, meyer lemon, white pepper, crème fraiche and vanilla. Smooth and velvety, this full-bodied wine will please with its coating finish and supple acidity. Palate: Apricot, yellow apple, lime peel, crushed almond, butter and pie crust. Great wine. Enjoy!

Noble Vines 446 2016 is a well-priced under $20, buttery California Chardonnay from San Bernabe, Monterey, California. Look for ripe tropical fruit flavours, red apple and lemon pudding flavours on the palate. The "446" in the name refers to the clone of Chardonnay (4) and the block (46) within the San Bernabe vineyard. - Community Wine Reviews
