Byron Chardonnay Santa Maria Valley is an exceptionally well balanced wine, displaying ripe, vibrant flavors and remarkable silkiness. Aromas of white peach and pear are complemented by a backdrop of French oak with hints of honey and butter. Appealing and approachable, the wine has a flowing, silky texture that carries through to its long, rich finish.
