Z. Alexander Brown 2017 Chardonnay, Uncaged, Santa Lucia Highlands

Here's an exciting new addition to the Z. Alexander Brown Uncaged line up, a bold, expressive Chardonnay. Known for his band and his music, Zac Brown is a creative spirit who has a passion for bringing music, food, and people together. The next logical step for him was to make wine. For this, his Uncaged series he teamed up with the resources of Delicato Family Wines and Napa Valley Winemaker John Killebrew. For this Chard they really decided to step up and source grapes from the elite Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. Grapes from this exclusive region in Monterey end up in wines with big scores and high prices. Well, with this wine you can enjoy the lush tropical fruit flavors tinged with notes of butterscotch along with zesty, mouthwatering acidity for a real bargain price.

Tasting Panel Magazine scored this 91 points saying "Dreamy scents of pineapple and banana cream pie exude from this aromatic Chardonnay. The flavors boast a fresh, clear vision: Vanilla-kissed lemon bars, cashews, kiwis, and MacIntosh apples set the stage. Bright and sun-kissed, this wine is defined by a pillow-light texture and a juicy finish."
