This bottling by Ian Brand always packs bang for the buck, but he really nailed it in the 2017 vintage. Clean and delicate aromas of Asian pear, lemon rind and edgy chalk lead into a racy, crisp and tightly wound palate. Flavors of grapefruit, nectarine, blanched almond and sea salt are delicious.

We all need ‘em...porch-pounders, pool wines, drink-most-of-the-bottle-while-you-cook wines...THIS. IS. IT. $179.40 a case! $89.70 a 6-pack! And free ground shipping! Read on... We LOVED this easy, fresh and surprisingly complex Chardonnay and bought every case we could considering its no-brainer price. Here’s the review and more info about Ian Brand’s hugely overdelivering label, but we recommend jumping on this with a quickness!
San Francisco Chronicle's Winemaker of the Year in 2018, Ian Brand is the owner and winemaker of Le P'tit Paysan. We scored a large enough parcel to offer you this sensational price -- $14.95!! Drink it with abandon all summer long...we are!
Did you know? Past winners of the above mentioned prestigious title include legends like Cathy Corison, Paul Draper and Josh Jensen. This is quite an honor and is well-deserved. For Ian, the work is always done in the vineyard and once the grapes are picked, it's a hands-off winemaking approach to let the vineyards shine. It's this philosophy that has earned him international acclaim and a cult like following among sommeliers and wine lovers.
Ian's 2017 Jack's Hill Vineyard Chardonnay is off the chain for the $. This is all about purity and focus...it's loaded with crisp pear, mouth watering apple and white flower aromas. In the mouth it is fresh and minerally with Ruby grapefruit, Meyer lemon, white peach and Pink Lady apple, all with great persistence and length. There is a hint of sea spray and chalk in the finish that classes this up to a degree that makes this one of the finest Chardonnay values you'll find in California.
Oh, and 92 points to boot! $14.95?! Did we mention that? Back up the truck!
