Wine Specs
Unobstructed by oak, Sonoma Carneros Chardonnay fruit provides wonderful aromas of peach, pear, and melon while a touch of Muscat provides accessibility. It’s an unoaked delight and a tasteful tribute to the person in your life anticipating their next "Calgon, take me away" retreat.
Production Notes
Our Mira Luna Tough Day Chardonnay is a one-of-a kind release crafted by winemaker Francis Sanders using Carneros grapes. The bottle features a whimsical edition of our Mira Luna label, designed by David Griffin, with a cartoon drawing of a woman relaxing in a tub sipping said Chardonnay.
The label is based on the characters from Corked the comic. While poking fun at the winemaking industry, the strip chronicles the adventures of a fictitious Russian River Valley cult winery, Isinglas Cellars. Follow the fullmoon antics of this character and more at www.corkedthecomic.com.
Derived and bottled at a winery known to produce world-class Chardonnay, this wine took three tries over a five-month period to get it right. The third time was truly the charmer! By final release, it developed into a Chardonnay exhibiting pristine varietal fruit proudly framed in Sonoma Carneros terroir, accessible to a rank beginner while providing value to the most jaded connoisseur.
Serving Suggestions
The traditional family meal of ham topped off with pineapple rings, cherries and a sweet glaze is the perfect opportunity to showcase this New World Chardonnay. It’s also a classic aperitif.
Awards
Silver, 2010 World Wine Championships:
"Aromas of pineapple segments, floral waxy lip balm, and tropical fruit custard have a peppery spice edge and follow through on a brisk entry to a tart, dry light-to-medium body with nice smoothness. Finishes with a baked apple and orange peel fade."

I tend to really like the Chardonnays from Sonoma and this was no exception. I thoroughly enjoyed unwinding with this amazing chardonnay. I have had the Alazar Merlot before although a different vintage, and again was very leased with the structure of the wine.
