Booker Vineyard My Favorite Neighbor Chardonnay 2021

Booker Vineyard is one of Paso’s first cult wineries. Under the direction of legendary winemaker Eric Jensen, they also launched “My Favorite Neighbor” as a series that welcomes collaboration (and lower pricing than their usual stuff) but still with exceptionally high quality. Today’s 97-point example should do wonders for driving that home.

This sensational Chardonnay has been meticulously crafted to showcase the best of what California has to offer, with each sip promising a journey through layers of flavor and texture. The palate is greeted with rich notes of ripe tropical fruits, beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity and a touch of oak. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression that will linger on your palate long after the last drop is gone.

You could go years waiting for the next domestic under-$50 wine with 97 points from The Wine Advocate. Deals like today simply do not come around very often.

“It’s an old-school style reminiscent of Napa that fans of ripe, oaked Chardonnays will enjoy.” -Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
