Mirassou San Vicente Vineyard Chardonnay 1998

This single vineyard bottling is a classic example of why Monterey is fast-becoming Californias top Chardonnay-producing region. Rich aromas of apple, citrus, and pineapple are echoed on the palate along with flavors of pear, mineral, and vanillin-oak. The wines satisfying, long finish, bright acidity, and exceptional balance make it extremely versatile for food-pairing. Traditional accompanying dishes would include most fish and poultry recipes, as well as creamy-sauced pastas. At the historic family winery, Mirassou Chef de Cuisine David Page will pour this rare wine alongside his Dungeness Crab Ravioli with Leeks and Fresh Truffle.
