Availability:12 In Stock
100% Matchbook Vineyard, Chardonnay, Dunnigan Hills
THE WINE
The Arsonist is always the blend of the best barrel lots of our estate-grown Chardonnay, designed to showcase our house style of extreme balance of fruit nd oak.

aging adds complexity. Tropical flavors, so characteristic of the Dunnigan Hills appellation, add a fresh balance. The creamy texture and bright, crisp fruit linger in the finish.
Pair with lobster bisque, mesquite grilled shrimp or pasta in a cream sauce.
