Silhouette

2008 Napa Valley Chardonnay

Merryvale Silhouette from the esteemed Napa Valley showcases the exceptional quality of Chardonnay in the 2008 vintage. This white wine presents a beautifully pale golden hue, inviting you to immerse yourself in its vibrant character. The body is full, offering a lush and creamy mouthfeel that coats the palate perfectly. With high acidity, it brings a bright and refreshing liveliness that harmonizes beautifully with the wine's fruit intensity, which is prominent and sings of ripe apple and pear, enhanced by whispers of citrus. Subtle oak nuances add complexity without overwhelming the fruit, while its dryness makes it a versatile choice for various occasions. This Chardonnay is a delightful expression of Napa Valley's terroir, embodying elegance and finesse that is sure to impress.

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.
