The 2021 Emblem by Michael Mondavi Rodgers Creek Chardonnay from the Sonoma Coast is a vibrant and elegant wine. It showcases bright citrus flavors, complemented by notes of apple and pear, with a subtle hint of oak that adds depth without overpowering the fruit. The wine’s crisp acidity and refined texture evoke the freshness of the Pacific coast, making it a delightful expression of the region. Its balanced style is reminiscent of classic Burgundian Chardonnays, offering a sophisticated yet approachable drinking experience. Enjoy this Chardonnay with a seafood dinner, such as grilled salmon or scallops, to enhance its citrus and mineral nuances.
