Supporting breast cancer research, the 2019 Chardonnay Shirley Mays opens to a nose of sweet citrus and yellow apples with sweet oak tones that lift from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the Chardonnay offers a balanced structure with succulent acidity that flows into an oak-inflected mid-palate with subtle flavors of lemon pastry cream. The wine continues to evolve in the mouth, revealing a delightful finish and lingering nuttiness. It's a great bottle, at a great price that helps support cancer research. What’s not to love?

With classic Chardonnay tones, the 2017 Chardonnay Shirley Mays opens with aromas of apple and pear with notions of banana peel and cereal grains compounded by oak tones. Full-bodied, the palate is fresh and ripe, focusing more on flavors of banana bread as the wine begins to feel hot on the palate with the fruit presence tapering off. Concluding with a tropical fruit finish, the wine is enjoyable but could use the support of energetic acidity to keep the freshness. Only 418 cases were produced.
