Pleasant Mary 2017 Chardonnay Central Coast, California

Description

Mary Ellen Pleasant was a businesswoman and abolitionist who moved from one side of the country to the other supporting those in need. She built a business empire in a time when women rarely worked outside the home and was beloved by the everyday people of San Francisco. This wine has five labels, every one featuring different foliage from the places that Mary Ellen put down roots. The wine comes from the Central Coast of California and has beautiful aromatics that come from cool fermentation. It has robust notes of melon and pineapple that are balanced by bright mineral acidity with hints of vanilla. Try pairing the Pleasant Mary with a sunny afternoon. And it took home Silver at the 2019 Hilton Head Island Wine and Food International Wine Competition and Bronze at the 2019 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.
