- [John] John Killebrew here, winemaker for Z. Alexander Brown wines out of California. When crafting the Z. Alexander Brown Monterey Chardonnay, it was very important to make a wine that balanced the bold and uncaged spirit with a food friendly, bright acidity and freshness. Honey colored in the glass, our Chardonnay exudes aromas of white peach, floral orange blossom and hints of honey and baking spice. A rich velvety mouthfeel is supported by flavors of juicy stone fruit, and vanilla. The complex layered flavors extend into the finish. Enjoy on its own or alongside your favorite grilled fish salad or aged cheese.
