[Rich] The Delta wines have been a revelation for me this year, delicious wines from California at an everyday price. Vintners Alexis and Matt Iaconis are raising their young family in the heart of California wine country, Healdsburg Sonoma. They produce great wines and give back with a $1 of every bottle sold going to environmental causes https://www.winesforchange.com/giving-back
"We’re here to do our part in order to protect our planet so it continues to thrive for generations to come." As the father of a one year old, that's a motto I can get behind. Ok, to the wine!
The fruit is sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards dotted along the California coastline. Native fermentation and ageing in a mix of new and neutral barrels. This chardonnay is oaked, but not oaky, the fruit shines prominently. Fresh picked golden delicious apple, tangerine, Bartlett pear, with some creme caramel and vanilla bean. Creamy and textured on the tongue, really polished and pure with just enough acidity to keep things delicate and bright. Perfect as a porch sipper, pairs great with food too, chicken salad, fresh catch, and creamy pasta dishes.
"This youthful wine takes a minute to come around in the glass, showing its tightly wound intensity of oak up front before settling into a more balanced contrast of richness and acidity. Floral and earthy, it lingers in tangerine and blood-orange flavors, with a hint of vanilla cream. " - WE 90
