This appealing wine is nicely balanced, fresh and has a flinty mineral character that enhances the crisp apple and white-peach flavors. Bright acidity gives it an appetizing mouthfeel and clean finish. Best Buy.
In 2011, Ray Signorello started the TRIM project with a few friends to offer a well-crafted California Cabernet Sauvignon to the market. He is proud to bring his more than 30 years of experience to this project. Offering sophisticated flavor with sensible value, the TRIM Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine that shows his love and passion for wine.
California’s most praised white wine, Chardonnay is also the state’s most planted white grape variety. Diverse terrain and microclimates allow for an incredible range of wine styles.
Chardonnay planted in the cooler, coastal zones takes on bright characteristics like lemon zest, key lime, green apple and wet flint. For this style, look to the chilly Sonoma Coast, Carneros, Santa Cruz Mountains, Santa Lucia Highlands and Edna Valley.
The inland zones of California’s coast, such as the Russian River, Sonoma, Napa and Livermore Valleys maintain a more Goldilocks-esque climate where both styles go. Early picking retains acidity and creates a leaner style but leaving the grapes to hang creates an approachable Chardonnay, balancing richness and finesse.
Chardonnay also plays a major part in the sparkling wine production of the Anderson Valley and Carneros.
