title: Pessagno 2009 Intrinity Chardonnay (Santa Lucia Highlands)
description: Pessagno's Chardonnays are always big and strong wines, as befits their growing conditions in the cool foothills of the coastal Monterey mountains. This is monumental in fruit, bursting at the seams with ripe apricots and tangerines, sweetened with honey, yet finishing dry. It's a wine to pair with elaborate fare.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Intrinity
