2008 Los Carneros Chardonnay

This wine showcases a medium body that beautifully balances richness with elegance. The acidity is bright and refreshing, providing an invigorating lift that enhances the wine's overall palate. With pronounced fruit intensity, one can expect enticing flavors of ripe apple, pear, and subtle citrus, all harmonizing with nuanced notes of vanilla and toasty oak from well-integrated fermentation techniques. This Chardonnay is also dry, making it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes, from seafood to creamy pasta, offering a versatile and enjoyable tasting experience.

It may be small, but when it comes to American wine regions, they do not come much bigger than Napa County. Home to the famous Napa Valley, which comprises most of its area, the Napa name has gained global recognition for its exceptional wines—especially its Bordeaux varieties. Most Napa County wineries choose to be more location-specific when labeling their wine, listing the name of sub-regions like Yountville, Los Carneros or Rutherford to capitalize on the name recognition. However, with such an abundance of high-quality grapes grown across the region, plenty of négociant winemakers blend fruit from different sub-regions. This gives Napa County wines excellent regional balance, taking advantage of different terroirs and mesoclimates.
