Jen’s Notes

This might be heresy, but I think we're heading towards liking N&N's Chardonnays better than their Cabernets. Certainly, it is a little easier to get your hands on the Chards (except for the Medina), and the price of admission isn't quite as high. The Searby is fruity and pretty clean as California Chards go. The palate is dominated by fresh, perfectly ripe pineapple. It is juicy, with bright acidity and a long finish. It might be zestier and more acidic than the the Medina. Absolutely lovely and quite food friendly.
