Siduri, having established itself over a quarter of a century as an innovative pinot noir producer, pivots to produce their first chardonnay. Thus completing the Burgundy duo in their stable.
This is a creditable first effort. It veers away from the most oak-forward chardonnays from the west coast presenting its oak as a portfolio component along with fruit and secondary flavors.
Quite charming with food (especially fish and chicken).
