Unoaked Chards, for whatever reason, seem to be a rarity in California. Of course you can find great ones throughout Burgundy like our perennial favorite, Talmard Macon Uchizy, but in the U.S.? Few and far between.
I guess this one: Few and far between.
This wine is absolutely killer. I’m certain this is going to be a big hit with the Clos Julien crowd and others too. I got this one from the Upper Russian River Valley from a 400-acre ranch in Mendocino at Saracina winery. The wines at Saracina have always been exceptional values ever since David Ramey took on the project as a consultant back in the mid-2000’s.
What sets this apart is the attention to detail… the aromas and bright fruit up front, followed by crisp acidity that winds it tightly together – it’s a racy, energetic unoaked Chardonnay.
Released at $24/btl, you can find it online for as low as $19.99. But after I took all 40 cases left in the country we have an incredible price while the bottles last. Three scores of 90 points or higher (featured below), including a rave 91-point review from Wine Enthusiast who called the wine “nuanced and complex”.

91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
This medium-bodied wine is graceful and well balanced, offering crisp lemon and green-apple flavors on a rather lean, tangy texture. It is nuanced and complex, and has a nice tension from tantalizing acidity.
90 Points, Wine Spectator
Well-structured, with a savory snap to the fresh-cut green apple, Asian pear and preserved lemon flavors, ending with hints of honeysuckle on the crisp, savory finish. Drink now through 2023.
90 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
Outstanding notes of pear, citrus, and orchard fruits as well as a kiss of minerality emerge from the 2019 Chardonnay Unoaked, which comes all from estate fruit in Mendocino and was brought up all in tank. Drink this medium-bodied, balanced, charming white over the coming year or two. It’s another notable value.

The newly released Riesling Feinherb 2021 is a lively, juicy wine with an elegant bouquet of minerals, wet stone and ripe fruit. On the palate, the wine’s slight off-dry component is beautifully balanced by the steely acidity typical of the Mosel. Because this is freshly released, the fruit is vibrant and succulent and it comes in somewhere between off-dry and semi-sweet. It’s a great example of Riesling, especially at the price.
Year in, year out Château Turcaud produces one of the best white wine values in the world. It’s long been found on Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris and we’ve had it at the restaurant since Day 1. If you’ve ever tried this stunning, classic Bordeaux of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle, then you know why. The new 2022 vintage has arrived and it’s beaming with energy and pure stone fruits. This is a beauty as always.
Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.
