جيه.سي. سومرز 'لا ريفانش' شاردونيه 2020، وادي وياميت، أوريغون

That 600-liter barrel aging really lets the fruit shine — the apple and pear come through crisp and clean, with just enough lemon zest to keep it lively. Poured a glass with roast chicken last night and it was a perfect match.

The sustainable vineyard practices add a nice feel-good factor, and the balanced lemon acidity makes it perfect with grilled chicken. It’s refreshing without being too oaky.

The fermentation in 600-liter barrels really gives this wine a fresh, spicy edge without overpowering the fruit. I picked up juicy apple and pear notes with that lemon finish, and it paired beautifully with a simple roast chicken dinner.
