The Laird Family Estate Chardonnay from Red Hen Ranch in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley is a real treasure trove of flavors. This 2019 vintage, which has been awarded a well-deserved 92 points, will enchant you with its complex bouquet of fresh apple, pear, and a hint of vanilla. It’s the terroir that truly sets this wine apart; the cool climate and rich, clay soil of the Oak Knoll District lend a unique character to the wine, resulting in a crisp, balanced palate with a touch of minerality. It’s an absolute pleasure to sip on its own, but it also pairs beautifully with a hearty chicken pot pie or a creamy seafood pasta. Despite its high-end origins and superb rating, it’s a smart buy for the quality, offering an experience that delivers well beyond its peers.
