Au Bon Climat's Santa Barbara County Chardonnay, the house wine of Jim Clendenen's Santa Maria winery, made in the restrained, barrel-fermented Burgundian style he championed against California's buttery mainstream. Lemon, green apple and pear with a touch of hazelnut and toast, medium-bodied and fresh with bright acidity. A balanced, food-friendly Chardonnay for its first several years.
