Edna Road Ranch 500 Edna Valley Chardonnay, 2019

This is an estate bottled Chardonnay from the Edna Valley appellation, worth significantly more than the $8.99 I paid at Trader Joe's a few years ago. I have never located a winery of that name so I presume it is a label made specifically for Trader Joe's by an established winery. Fortunately, I bought a case when I first saw it in my local TJ store. I have never seen it again or I would have bought more.

Bright lemon yellow. Buttered apples, minerals and a dash of lemon. Medium full on the palate with bright, zesty flavors that persist after the wine is swallowed. A good representative of the cool Edna Valley.
