Monterey's combination of moderate climate and marine influences fromthe Pacific Ocean keep the grapes balanced and able to develop fully ripeflavors. A classic Central Coast Chardonnay, this wine offers tropical aromas of grilled pineapple with a hint of lemon zest. Nicely balanced, Hess Chardonnay is medium-bodied with layers of sliced peaches and golden delicious apples, finishing crisp and clean with well-balanced acid.
