PRODUCT OVERVIEW/REVIEW:
Sean and Nicole Minor moved to California soon after graduating from college and quickly became enthralled with the wine industry. After working on the finance side at several wineries, including Beaulieu Vineyard, Sean started taking enology classes at UC Davis to better understand grape farming and wine production. The Minors moved to Oregon to manage King Estate and became friends with Will Bucklin, the winemaker, who helped them delve deeper into the science of winemaking. They moved back to California in 2001, further honed their skills at Renwood Winery, and Established Sean Minor (formerly known as Four Bears) in 2005. To this day, they source their grapes from the finest vineyards in AVAs all over California and remain committed to offering their customers premium wines at affordable prices.
Aged in French oak for ten months, the 2021 Sean Minor Signature Series Chardonnay charms wine lovers with flavors of green apple, cream scone, pineapple, and peach cobbler, finishing with a hint of cardamom and vanilla. (winery notes)

92 points, Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
"Matching gorgeous ripe fruits with handsome oak spice and butter accents, this full-bodied and complete wine is a classic Californian. Vanilla, cardamom, and toasted-baguette aromas lead to poached pears, peach syrup, and cream flavors on a melted texture."
