Product Overview
Ann Albert Wines was started by Cait Ann Johnson and Eric Albert Johnson, with 2015 being the first vintage. The 2017 Ann Albert Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay is the result of Eric's global travels as he studied various techniques and styles that have helped him cultivate a singular, yet international style. The aim is Chablis, fresh and lively, with stone fruits, pear, and lemon popping out of the glass, plus the occasional suggestions of guava and kiwi in the background.
