2010 Napa Valley Chardonnay

The Clos Du Val Cellar Selection Reserve Chardonnay from the 2010 vintage is a splendid example of Napa Valley's renowned winemaking pedigree. This white wine dazzles with a radiant golden hue, inviting you to explore its rich, complex aromas. On the nose, vivid notes of ripe stone fruits like peach and apricot harmoniously intertwine with hints of citrus zest and delicate floral undertones. The palate is generously layered, showcasing a medium body that balances a bright acidity, delivering a refreshing mouthfeel that energizes the fruit flavors. Subtle oak nuances contribute to its elegance, providing a touch of creaminess without overpowering the wine's vibrant character. This Chardonnay is beautifully crafted, making it a delightful choice for a range of culinary pairings or simply to enjoy on its own.

Napa Valley

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.
