Bloomberg wine columnist Elin McCoy published her annual column featuring the best wines she’s sampled this year under $50, including Gary Farrell Winery Russian River Selection Chardonnay and Chateau Montelena Chardonnay.
The article highlights several styles of wines from regions across the globe. McCoy notes that the Gary Farrell Chardonnay from “Sonoma’s Russian River strikes a balance between rich and golden and fresh and citrusy, and has just enough oak for complexity.”
A long time fan of Montelena and the winery’s Chardonnay, she says, “layered, mineral, lemony, and floral, this is a lovely white from the Napa winery whose chardonnay won the Paris Tasting 45 years ago.” Read the full list of wine recommendations under $50 HERE
