2010 Napa Valley Chardonnay

The Artesa Estate Reserve from Napa Valley is an exquisite Chardonnay that showcases the remarkable qualities of its region. This vintage offers a full-bodied experience, beautifully balanced by a pronounced acidity that brings both brightness and liveliness to the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of ripe stone fruit, citrus, and subtle hints of tropical flavors, creating a mouthwatering profile that is both inviting and complex. An elegant creaminess, enhanced by well-integrated oak influences, provides depth and richness, while the wine's dry character leaves a clean and refreshing finish. Overall, the Artesa Estate Reserve is a fantastic expression of Chardonnay, embodying the essence of Napa Valley's exceptional terroir.

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
