Estate Reserve

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.

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.
