The Rodney Strong Chalk Hill Chardonnay 2014 is a lush white wine with an elegant balance of lively and luxurious flavor. French oak barrel fermentation imparts notes of vanilla and spice. The wine is balanced with crisp fruit flavors of Meyer lemon and golden delicious apples and has a long finish. A touch of minerality is a hallmark of wines from the distinct Chalk Hill region in California.

For under $20, this California wine is an excellent value in Chardonnay. Enjoy this white wine with soft cheese, roasted pork loin, or rich fish dishes.
