IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

The Educated Guess Carneros Chardonnay is crafted from grapes grown in the prestigious Sangiacomo Family Vinyards. It was produced in two distinct ways using both traditional barrel fermentation as well as stainless steel fermentation. The goal was to provide you a delicious crisp Chardonnay that is not the typical over-oaked and heavily weighted style that is so common today.

The Educated Guess Chardonnay showcases delicious ripe pear, melon, and green apple fruit characteristics, while retaining bright acidity and creamy vanilla notes. Created with the philosophy that superb Carneros Chardonnay can be affordable, this wine is indistinguishable inquality from its higher-priced competitors.

By combining the characteristics that both traditional barrel fermentation and stainless steel ferment provide, we were able to retain the delicious tropical fruit flavors, while also giving the customer what they have come to love in Chardonnay—creamy notes, toast, spice, and vanilla without being overdone in any way. No “stick of butter and a 2 x 4” Chardonnay here! Very food friendly and crowd pleasing!
