Matthiasson 'Linda Vista Vineyard' Chardonnay Napa Valley, 2023 apertif and flaked oatsThis wine pairs beautifully with lighter summer fare from crab cakes to chicken salad, lobster with drawn butter or even grilled pork chops. Golden Delicious apples, yellow peaches, musk melon, and honey greet the nose and persist through to the palate. Medium acidity is balanced by pleasant fleshiness, finishing very clean with a hint of minerality.
