Jackson Family Wines Murphy Goode Chardonnay 2024

Ripe Orchard Fruit, Creamy Texture, and Easygoing California Charm

Founded in Sonoma County in 1985 by Tim Murphy, Dale Goode, and Dave Ready, Murphy-Goode built its reputation on producing expressive, down-to-earth California wines. Today under the Jackson Family Wines umbrella, their California appellation Chardonnay brings together fruit from several coastal and inland growing areas to craft a generous, fruit-forward and well-balanced white.

The 2024 vintage is a fresh, approachable Chardonnay made for enjoying young, combining ripe fruit with a gentle touch of oak.

🥂 Tasting Profile

• The Nose: Fruity, Bright, and Inviting. Aromas of yellow apple, ripe pear and pineapple, with hints of vanilla, lemon peel and light toast.

• The Palate: Medium-Bodied, Round, and Creamy. Juicy orchard and tropical fruit on a smooth, rounded texture, kept lively by fresh acidity.

• The Finish: Clean, Gently Toasty, and Satisfying. Finishes with notes of baked apple, citrus and a soft vanilla-oak touch.

Pro Tip

Serve chilled at 10–12°C.

• The Classic Bistro Match: Great alongside roast chicken, creamy pasta, grilled shrimp or pork tenderloin.

• The Cheese Match: Pairs nicely with mild Gouda, Comté or creamy Brie.

• The "Nordic" Match: Excellent with butter-fried whitefish or salmon with dill potatoes, or a creamy salmon soup (lohikeitto). The wine's round fruit and creamy texture complement buttery and dill-accented dishes beautifully.
