Reviews:

• Wilfred Wong: The 2018 Mer Soleil Silver Unoaked Monterey County Chardonnay takes excellent advantage of this cool growing region to produce an attractive, stainless steel wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits pleasing aromas and flavors of ripe fruit, earth, and minerality. Enjoy it with smoked oysters and a citrus-dressed, green salad.

Producer Information

Mer Soleil began in the late 1980s, with a journey to the central coast of California in search of ideal conditions to plant Chardonnay. Our first vineyards were in the Santa Lucia Highlands, a small but exceptional appellation about a 30-minute drive from Monterey. With morning fog, bright sunshine and howling gusts of afternoon wind, the region’s dramatic weather leads to an extended growing season, enabling us to make wines with distinctive aromas and flavors. In addition to our Reserve Chardonnay from the Santa Lucia Highlands, we recently introduced a Reserve Pinot Noir, also from the Santa Lucia Highlands. Our SILVER unoaked Chardonnay comes from Monterey County – it is fermented and aged in a combination of stainless steel and concrete tanks. Mer Soleil is led by Owner and Winemaker Charlie Wagner, who is passionate about how these wines celebrate the remarkable landscape and character of the Santa Lucia Highlands and Monterey coast.
