With a well-deserved 92-point rating from Wine Enthusiast, the Pellegrini Chardonnay Unoaked from the 2022 vintage is a vibrant expression of the Russian River Valley. This wine captivates with its bright notes of green apple, pear, and a hint of citrus zest, complemented by a subtle creaminess that adds depth without the influence of oak. The lively acidity makes it refreshing and food-friendly, making it an excellent match for grilled shrimp tacos or a light summer salad. At a retail price of $40, this Chardonnay is a smart buy for the quality, delivering a delightful experience that rivals much pricier options.
