The long-est, small-est, large-est, first-est and best-est. Our deal this week, the 2016 True Myth Chardonnay, has all of these and more. It comes from the long-est continually producing vineyard in California’s Edna Valley (the state’s small-est AVA). This site also happen to be the large-est vineyard and large-est Chard planting in that small-est of AVAs. The Niven family, who were among the first-est to establish wine production in this area, were also among the first-est in the Central Coast to attain 100% SIP Certified Sustainability for their renowned Paragon Vineyard. Isn’t that the best-est? Give full credit to Jack Niven who had the foresight to seek out the Edna Valley in the 70’s when it was better known for dairy cows and garbanzo beans and turn it into an area specializing in world-class Chardonnay.
The color of the True Myth Chardonnay pours into the glass like liquid gold with an intensely colored core. You’ll have no need to go on a tropical vacation after you pour yourself a glass and get blasted by aromas of mango, melon, pineapple, and tangerine with citrus and a mineraly backdrop. The palate is where this wine really shines, it is almost like you can bite into the deep tropical fruits that it fills the mouth with. It is packed with rich flavors and creamy in texture with a lushness that just won't quit. A great party wine that shows well in the glass and can be appreciated by everyone. In addition to pairing well with people, the True Myth will work quite nicely with sea bass with a mango salsa or summer shrimp salad.
