Mer Soleil was born here, where fog rolls in off the Pacific each evening and sunlight returns the next morning with a kind of quiet generosity. These wines are shaped not by excess, but by balance — ripe fruit tempered by ocean air, richness framed by freshness, and a house style that prizes clarity over flash.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMer Soleil Silver Chardonnay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the purest expression of that idea. Fermented entirely in stainless steel, it lets the vineyard speak without ornament. Think crisp green apple, Meyer lemon peel, and white peach, with a saline edge that feels lifted straight from the coastal breeze. There’s a subtle creaminess from time on the lees, but no oak to distract — just clean lines, bright energy, and a finish that makes you immediately want another glass. This is the Chardonnay for roast chicken, grilled fish, weeknight pasta, or simply the pleasure of something beautifully made and effortlessly drinkable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMer Soleil Reserve Chardonnay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e takes the same coastal fruit and deepens the conversation. Here, oak is part of the story — not to dominate, but to add dimension. Riper stone fruit, baked apple, toasted hazelnut, and warm spice unfold slowly, supported by a generous mid-palate and a long, silky finish. It’s richer, more contemplative, and quietly luxurious, the kind of Chardonnay that shines alongside scallops, lobster, creamy risotto, or a holiday table where the wine needs to carry some weight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTogether, these two bottles show just how versatile great California Chardonnay can be. Silver is freshness and immediacy — bright, coastal, and endlessly versatile. Reserve is depth and indulgence — layered, polished, and deeply satisfying. Same vineyards. Same philosophy. Two distinct moods, both unmistakably Mer Soleil.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhether you’re stocking the fridge with an everyday favorite or reaching for something special to anchor a meal, these Chardonnays offer a rare chance to experience both sides of the Monterey Coast in a single lineup — sunshine, fog, and craftsmanship captured in the glass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breakthru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46189098205417,"sku":"9761630","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0579\/2805\/7022\/products\/image_06e06cc6-7f72-4033-948d-937005e4b6bc.png?v=1631061631"},{"product_id":"caymus-cabernet-sauvignon","title":"Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon","description":"","brand":"Breakthru","offers":[{"title":"1.0 L","offer_id":46266086621417,"sku":"9726986","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":46266086588649,"sku":"9635657","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5L","offer_id":47419333476585,"sku":"","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0579\/2805\/7022\/files\/Websitephototemplate_83.png?v=1697037592"},{"product_id":"red-schooner","title":"Red Schooner Voyage (Caymus' Malbec)","description":"","brand":"Breakthru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44894896292073,"sku":"9676399","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0579\/2805\/7022\/files\/download_e01fe774-2e4e-4ac7-bd01-f461e5322ed0.jpg?v=1761499702"},{"product_id":"emmolo-merlot","title":"Emmolo Merlot","description":"\u003cp\u003eWinery notes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This wine is sourced from vineyards in Napa Valley, including land that has been in the family of Jenny Wagner’s maternal relatives (the Emmolos) for generations.
