2019 Fort Ross Vineyard Sea Slopes Chardonnay Sonoma Coast – Even-handed with the oak, this accessible wine lets the fruit do loads of the speaking, its notes of pear matched by a burst of melon and a squeezed lemon wedge. Mild, vanilla-soaked oak rapidly comes into focus because the wine develops in glass, with a end that sees a reprising pop of citrus, dusted with coconut notes and a delicate layer of florals. It’s a balanced however expressive wine, a wonderful purchase at this value. A- / $25 [BUY IT NOW FROM DRIZLY]
